More than 58 per cent of respondents to a Daily Advertiser poll voted to maintain the current weekend closing time of 6pm, while almost a quarter wanted it to be open for longer. Only 18 per cent of respondents wanted to see the pool close early.
Council staff had conducted their own online poll last week, offering only two options of reduced hours to choose between. The poll was later removed.
Oasis manager Maurice Eames said: “The Facebook poll concluded when sufficient responses were received from Oasis members and patrons about pool closing times during winter. Oasis is using several methods including Facebook, surveys and face-to-face discussions to gauge community feedback.”
