ON THEIR WAY TO BREAN photo by Jana Branecka

Campaign group Bridgwater Forward, who have been at the forefront of the campaign against the closure of the Sedgemoor Splash pool , the Tesco development and the loss of the Brewery Field have organised a Halloween themed bus trip to the Brean Splash Waterpark to highlight the lack of facilities in Bridgwater and to provide families deprived of local swimming facilities with a great half term opportunity.

District and Town Labour Councillor Ian Tucker was also the bus driver and said "The bus has been provided free by Webberbus and thanks are also due to the Brean Splash. We have been without a swimming pool in Bridgwater for more than two years now ."

Linda Brigg, co-organiser, said "I am a former disabled group member of the Splash and I dearly miss it. I relied on it, it eased my pain. That's why I support Bridgwater Forward as we are trying to keep leisure in Bridgwater"
