York Sport Village open for action
9:15am Saturday 1st September 2012 in News
Anne Crowley, left, of Stamford Bridge, looks over the new facilities at the York Sport Village with Coun Sonja Crisp, of City of York Council, and Jon Greenwood, director of commercial services at the University of York
THE first customers have visited the new £9 million York Sport Village swimming pool at the University of York , which opened its doors to the public yesterday.
One of the first into the pool was Anne Crowley, from Stamford Bridge, who was introduced to the facilities by Coun Sonja Crisp and Jon Greenwood, the university’s director of commercial services.
Coun Crisp said: “We know that an active lifestyle brings a wide range of long-term benefits and I hope that people of all ages will enjoy this facility which will help support both our city’s sporting ambitions and health agenda for years to come.”
The competition-standard eight lane 25-metre pool is situated close to the Grimston Bar park & ride, on the edge of the university’s Heslington East campus expansion.

After the demise of the Barbican and Cornlands Road pools, a state of the art facility is to be welcomed. Access is good using public transport or your own vehicle. Only time will tell how well used it becomes, but the popularity of private health clubs shows there is a market for clean modern facilities.
I'm surprised that "Red Sonja" dare appear in public given the revelations yesterday about her failure to make the required legal declarations about the gifts and hospitality that she has been receiving.
...and didn't she actually oppose this new swimming pool when she was an Opposition spokesperson a few years ago?
Still why let history get in the way of a free G & T!

Shame since she's beyond redemtion. But just shows the lengths she'll go to to remain in denial. Time to take responsibility for yourself Crispy!
