Another electoral promise for Gozo

With regard to the proposed public swimming pool in Gozo, let me point out that this was an electoral promise by the Nationalist Party back in 1991. After 17 years we are still waiting for this amenity, which would be a great improvement to our island.

There are two attractive locations: 1) within the existing sports complex and 2) integrated in the newly constructed secondary school premises in the same area. Also, supposing that a group of people visited Victoria, some might want to take advantage of the exercising facility while others would want to swim. They could conveniently do this, if the pool were built in Victoria. Even schoolchildren can benefit from such sport. As Alternattiva Demokratika has been saying all along, if Malta already has two such national pools, then Gozo deserves one. We must not continue to treat us unequally. Given the suitability of the Otters Water Polo Club for training purposes, Gozitans would optimally benefit from the provision of both facilities, were this scheme to be pursued.

Let us hope that satisfactory action will be taken without delay.
