Council officers wanted to demolish the site due to vandalism
The leaders of West Lothian Council have been accused of spending needless cash on the demolition of a popular swimming pool.
Council officers acknowledged that West Coast Estates Ltd, the prospective buyers, had walked away from their £850,000 offer made in November after refusing to meet the council's demolition costs.Senior SNP councillor Pauline Stafford told a meeting of the Executive that the decisions taken in June had left the Labour-run council "out of pocket and the town without a valued asset.
The report submitted to this week's meeting of the Executive recommended returning the site on the open market to secure the best price available. She said: "It's more about the processes. This goes back to transparency. The decision was taken to demolish without reference to the members. What's ultimately failed here is that we are out of pocket in the public purse and community short of a valued asset that was very important for our leisure and well being."
