‘We will make Jersey’s lido a resort like Benidorm’

There has been some public frustration over the choice of operator, including the Love Our Lido group not winning the lease.

Deputy David Warr, who has supported Love Our Lido, has launched a proposition which will be debated by the States Assembly in November.

His proposition calls for all “negotiations and associated tender processes relating to the management, occupation or letting of the Havre des Pas Bathing Pool” to be terminated, external.

It also called on politicians to back plans to “arrange for the transfer of management and maintenance for the Havre des Pas Bathing Pool site to the future charitable body Love Our Lido”.

Troy described the proposition as a “delay tactic”.

He acknowledged the public frustration, but added he was passionate about the future of the pool.

Troy said: “I swam here as a teenager.

“I don’t want anything to happen to the lido. I don’t want it to deteriorate and I think we’ve got things to do.

“We want to teach more children to swim, we want to teach more children to cook, we have kitchens and I think this place will thrive under us.”
