GLENTHOMPSON community members along with three Southern Grampians Shire Councillors (SGSC) were left bereft after Wednesday night’s ordinary Council meeting when the vote to keep the Glenthompson War Memorial Swimming Pool open was lost, four votes in favour to close, three against.

It was front and centre of debate at April’s ordinary meeting, with the pool’s closure being the first item on the agenda, with Councillors Katrina Rainsford, Fran Malone, and Albert Calvano voting to keep it open.
