The current round of the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme was closed to new applicants on 31 July 2000.  No decision has been made on a new round of the Programme. Since 2000, 58 projects have been or are being dealt with under the Programme, of which 49 have been completed and the other 9 projects are at various stages of the Programme. My priority in relation to this Programme is to deal with existing projects.
