Last days of Worthing's old boating pool eyesore

THERE will be more green, green grass on Worthing seafront.

The dry patch of earth pictured was previously occupied by the old boating pool, south of the Aquarena.

It was a target for vandals before the borough council decided last year to fill it in at a cost of around 23,000.

The boating pool had been unused for years, while the council tried unsuccessfully to find new operators.

But once in place, the new lawn is not likely to have a very long life.

It will probably be affected by redevelopment of the Aquarena, which will be demolished after a new municipal pool is built alongside the present facility.
