SUPPORT has been flooding in for a Bucks Free Press campaign to save Holywell Mead Swimming Pool.

Wycombe District Council announced plans to close the pool as part of a program of cost-cutting schemes aimed at saving £2 million over the coming year.

Council sources claimed it would cost £60,000 to keep the pool open for the next five years – a figure that, in the grip of the financial crisis, they cannot afford.

However, readers of the Bucks Free Press and sister paper the South Bucks Star refused to take news lying down, and have written in their scores in support of the campaign.
