Parr Baths (Image: St Helens Council)
RESPONDING to news that the council has applied for permission to demolish Parr Baths, which has been closed for several years.
I was born and bred in Fingerpost and spent much of my childhood in the baths with my friends.
It was a social outing, somewhere to go and it kept us active.
During the six-week summer holidays, the inflatables would be on and we would be queueing up to get in.
So many happy memories.
The people and children of Fingerpost and surrounding areas deserve somewhere to go to swim and socialise locally.
The local schools used the baths for swimming lessons, they’d walk there from Merton Bank and St Augustine’s.
Where are the councillors fighting for us and our amenities?
