Outdoor swimming has been a lifesaver for many during the pandemic. When people don’t feel safe swimming indoors what better than a sea pool.

With Newcastle being such a small town in N.I I can already say that it is going to be very hard bringing in money especially with the gorgeous weather conditions Ireland is blessed with! By taking away the much loved rock pool where so many people including myself have grown up swimming and creating memories you will also be taking a huge area of tourist attraction. Newcastle has really nothing else to attract tourists there as the sea and beach are now so dirty and unpleasant that nobody wishes to swim or stay there. The Tropicana only attracts very young children who are less than a 1m high and even then they do not open if there is the slightest hint of rain which totally defeats the whole idea of their rainy day prices! Apart from a few nice cafes along the high-street there are more things in Newcastle to put you off than to welcome you in. If anything Down need to keep places like the Rock pool in order for Newcastle to survive! SAVE IT!

]]> Sun, 15 Feb 2015 06:58:30 UTC 18545361 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/18545340?utm_medium=rss Having been to Newcastle every year since I can remember during the summer holidays I have loved swimming in the rock pool for years. I go along with my cousins who live in Newcastle and my brothers who all absolutely love it! My mum, nanny, great nanny and all my Irish family have swam there for years and by taking it away you would be taking away a huge part of many families, not to mention Newcastle's history. Also being a teenager now there is not much else to do in Newcastle even in the summer suitable for kids my age. Although I have loved the Tropicana also for years, I have come to the age where even the deep end is too shallow! If anything Newcastle council needs to restore these places making them attractions for children on holiday or growing up here otherwise to be honest when kids get bored we usually create trouble. The rock pool has so much potential and I believe with a bit of TLC it could be an amazing place which families would love coming to. Please don't take this place away where so many memories have already been or are yet to be made!

I proudly took my kids there when we came to visit many times over the years from Canada where we now reside. Haven't we erased enough from our precious history? The promenade has been changed dramatically from my childhood days, some of it for the better and some not!To remove yet another valuable and pleasurable piece of history, which still provides a rare enjoyable resource for many, would only serve to portray the powers to be as dictatorial bullies who always get to call the shots! We have lost so many irreplaceable pieces of our Irish history during the "troubles" do not strip our hometown of yet another precious part of that cherished history yet again!

The Rock Pool is one of the things that makes Newcastle unique and I was so pleased that it was still there when i visited last year, having not been to Newcastle for a number of years. Please reconsider this decision, it is not a cut worth making since losing this facility and attraction will be a loss for Newcastle. The Council has done great things regenerating the promenade with public art etc, much to the credit of Newcastle Council but taking away this pool is removing part of the heritage of the town which cannot be a good decision in the long term.
