NSC Pool!

Recommended Posts

Interesting also to note that the original tiles lasted almost 30 years without breaking, but barely 5 years after a multi-million pound refurbishment, a good chunk of the pool is closed because of cracked (new) tiles.

It makes you wonder what they knew about tiling in 1991 that we didn't know in 2018.

Ofcourse as ever there will be no comebacks on any of the suppliers or contractors who will continue to revel in lucrative government work.

The increasingly impoverished taxpayer will be left to foot the bill, like we were with the flumes, the Liverpool ferry terminal, Richmond Hill, the Prom, Douglas Harbour, the Queens Pier, Ronaldsway runway extension and endless other government jobs which have gone spectacularly wrong.

Left it to rot for years without doing hardly any maintenance. Even turned down an offer from the RAF who were still based at Jurby to do it for them.

Ultimately it's the public which are paying for the current renovation through donations, and let's face it, if were left up to the government it would still be rotting now.

The government need to be kept away from it at all costs or it will become another total disaster!
