Robin Lawrence slams secrecy in decision making

Robin Lawrence and Park Ward Liberal Democrat Focus Team are concerned by the apparent lack of consultation over the intended closure of Compton Park Activities Centre.

Robin asks "Why all this secrecy about a swimming pool and sports hall? It's not a matter of national security!"
