Swimming pool reopens after four years
A swimming pool in East Sussex has reopened after more than four years. The decision to bring Ringmer Pool back into use was made following a public consultation by East Sussex County Council, who then worked with Lewes District Council (LDC). Wave Active has been appointed to run the facility on behalf of the local authority, and the company's CEO, Duncan Kerr, said he was "delighted" the pool reopened on Saturday. The pool has been closed since March 2021. Mr Kerr said: "This facility is a wonderful community asset. We worked hard to get it ready and hope many residents visit regularly to support the pool, their health and enjoy swimming." Councillor Johnny Denis, cabinet member for tourism and leisure at LDC, said: "Ringmer Pool was initially built thanks to the hard work and fundraising of local people and it's really exciting to be bringing it back for the whole community. "I am delighted we got the pool up and running again." LDC invested £100,000 in Ringmer Pool as part of its £3m council investment programme to maintain local leisure services. Councillor Nick Bennett, deputy leader at ESCC, said it was "great" to see the facility reopened. He said: "We worked with Lewes District Council to secure funding to ensure the future of Ringmer Pool for the benefit of the wider community."

Metro Planning Commission votes to defer townhome plans in Antioch
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Antioch residents who have fought against a plan that would have put townhomes in their backyards, arguing that other issues need to be fixed before the units could come. The plan would rezone the area for single-family residents and incorporate multi-family units. Those units would go in the nearly four acres of private greenspace behind the homes off Maxwell Road. The developer attempted to make them affordable houses — priced between $325- and $400,000. Neighborhood News: Stories impacting your community | Read More Antioch residents said not only have they been dealing with safety issues from overcrowding, but they're struggling with traffic and school crowding and they want to see a plan for these issues before it gets worse. 'Right now, a school bus goes down Maxwell Road you've got to pull off the road so the bus can pass you just because the road is not big enough,' Smith said. 'We have already put in over 800 houses on our street. I'm not saying this is a no — I'm saying right now with the property and the way it is, it's not safe.' They said if construction were to move forward, it would wipe out the 3.8 acres of green space — just feet away from some neighbors' houses. Commissioners said while new construction usually causes environmental impact, they want to be sure the units will be sustained on the road. The Metro Planning Commission voted to defer the plan until the developer finds a way to keep the single-family units consistent on Maxwell Road and create a better safeguard for the units in the area.
