"HIGHLAND Council is being urged not to pull the plug on plans for a swimming pool on the Black Isle.

The appeal from the Black Isle Swimming Pool Foundation comes following a local survey showing overwhelming support for the project, with 92 per cent of parents favouring the concept of paying £3 for each school swimming lesson.

As we revealed last week, a working group has recommended to the council's Education, Culture and Sport Committee that no new swimming pool provision is financially supported by the Council during the life of the next five-year capital plan."
