Protest held to save pool

A RALLY has been held in the Capital in the latest part of a campaign to save a historic city swimming pool.

The Evening News revealed last September that the Dalry Swim Centre was one of four local sports facilities at risk of closure under cost-cutting plans by Edinburgh Leisure.

Scores of supporters converged on the Caledonian Crescent facility on Saturday to protest against the closure plans.

Campaigners have already collected nearly 2000 signatures on a series of petitions to save the Victorian-era building.
