pleasure of the Council, Old Age Pensioners of both sexes residing
in the Borough should be permitted to use certain of the Council's
slipper baths at the rate of 1d. for each bath, subject to the
production by them of their Pension Order Books, and to the other
conditions set out in the preamble.
Church Street Baths. Second Class Swim. Earlier Opening on
Week-days during July and August, 1930.
In response to a request, the Council gave consideration to
the earlier opening in the morning of the Church Street Swimming
Baths.
Previously the baths had been open to the public at 9 a.m.,
and in order that a trial might be given to the suggestion for an
earlier opening, instructions were given for prominent notices
to be exhibited at each of the swimming baths, inviting male
bathers to state whether they would be prepared to use the second
class swim at Church Street Baths on weekdays, between the
hours of 7 and 9 a.m., during the months of July and August,
1930, should the same be available.
In accordance with the response received, instructions were
given for the second class swim at Church Street Baths to be
available for the use of the public on weekdays during the months
of July and August, 1930, between the hours of 7 and 9 a.m.
Earlier Opening on Week-days during July, August and
September, 1931.
Having regard to the numbers who took advantage of these
facilities for earlier bathing, the Council decided to continue the
practice during the Season 1931 during the months of July, August
and September.
Swimming Baths. Hours for Mixed Bathing.
Representations have been made to the Council during the
year in favour of extending the number of hours set aside for
mixed bathing at the Council's swimming baths, and as the Council
were of opinion that the demand for mixed bathing justified an
extention of the existing hours, the following schedule of hours
was adopted for mixed bathing during the pleasure of the Council :
Church Street Baths Wednesdays, 9 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 8.30 p.m.
