Campaigners in Narberth trying to save the town's swimming pool, say they won't give up the fight, despite Pembrokeshire County Council recommending closure for the facility this week. At a meeting on Monday, the county's council's cabinet voted to shut down the pool to make savings to its leisure services budget. The Friends of Narbertth Pool stated on Tuesday that they would still continue to try and raise funds before the end of next month to save the pool. "Our meeting last night was totally energised and inspiring, and although we are disappointed by the decision made by Pembrokeshire County Council yesterday to close the pool on October 31, we are now just raising the game - we are NOT giving up!" said a spokesperson for the group. "There is every possibility that the Share Energy venture will raise enough capital once it is launched, hopefully within the next few days, to enable us to meet the requirement set by PCC to take over the pool. "Once we are at that point we have a great chance of running a successful, energy-efficient, community business fired by Biomass. There is still lots that can be done. We are not disheartened.  "We have a good business plan which involves Pembrokeshire County Council paying for costs, some staffing and lifeguard training for the first year, and with the support tapering away over the following two. "We have a pool of volunteers, a faithful body of swimmers, swimming instructors and lifeguards and a plan for joining up with the Bloomfield Centre to provide combined swim-gym memberships. We also have you - potential shareholders living in and around Narberth with strong links to the pool and the belief that community resources matter. We are determined to give this everything we've got. The deadline pulls everything firmly into focus," they added.  Local MP Simon Hart said he was sad about the county council's decision. "I am very sad that despite great efforts from the local community, Pembrokeshire County Council has decided to close this asset to the area. "Whilst I understand the council's desire to cut costs, I am disappointed that they have not given the local community time to get their share option underway, or looked at other ways of funding the shortfall. "Narberth loses a valued facility as a result," he added.
