TROPICANA
WESTON
This Zine is a collection of quotes from the local community about the Tropicana outdoor swimming pool. The Tropicana was built in 1937 and included an art deco diving board. At the time it had the highest diving board and was the largest open-air swimming pool in Europe. It has not been occupied since 2000.

In February 2013 the council granted planning permission to a consortium of local businesses: Trop Ltd. They intend to build a new swimming pool complex on the site. As the land owner the council has not yet given Trop Ltd permission. If you wish to give Trop Ltd your support please visit their website below.

.......just a couple of brown envelopes handed under the table in the Town Hall......
THIS TOWN HAS BEEN WITHOUT THIS FACILITY FAR TOO LONG
WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS INSTEAD OF GETTING RID OF THE TROPICANA
IS GET RID OF THE CLOWNS THAT ARE RUNNING OUR TOWN.
