Regrettably, I must complain about the state of the supposedly heated swimming pool at the Inspire complex in Marsascala, which has not been adequately heated for months.

Many disappointed regular users of this pool have stopped using it. Although the main reception has received daily complaints about this problem, this has been to no avail.

Instead of making progress, now that Inspire has joined another important organisation, it seems that things have fallen below their usual standard.

It is a shame too that the government has cut subsidies to such institutions which are giving such valuable service to those who are most in need and most vulnerable.
