Causeway Coast and Glens Council to discuss call to repair 'bathing heritage' of Portrush's Blue Pool area
A Causeway Coast and Glens councillor is calling for repairs to be carried out to preserve the bathing heritage of Portrush’s Blue Pool.
DUP Alderman Mark Fielding proposed a motion to be discussed on September 1 at a meeting of Causeway Coast and Glens Council.
The notice of motion, seconded by DUP party colleague Alderman Sharon McKillop, reads: “That this Council repairs the concrete surfaces at the Blue Pool, Portrush, and reinstates an access ladder to ensure safe entry to, and exit from, the pool for swimmers;
"Thereby preserving and supporting the bathing heritage of the Blue Pool, as reflected in the recently installed Heritage Interpretation Sign at Bath Terrace.”
The Blue Pool was traditionally a popular outdoor sea-bathing and diving spot, hosting swimming galas and high-diving displays
