Plans for £4m pool given go-ahead

Plans to build a £4m swimming pool in a Lincolnshire town have been approved by the district council.

West Lindsey District Council is now looking for contractors to build the four-lane pool off Willingham Road in Market Rasen.

Some residents have been campaigning for the facility for 15 years.

Councillor David Kitchen from the pool project group said construction work was due to start at the end of the year. The pool is due to open in 2009.
