MALLORCA TODAY - Alcúdia swimming-pool goes cold

The ongoing dispute between Alcúdia town hall and the operator of the public indoor swimming-pool, Gesport Balear, is about to lead to the pool's heating being switched off. Gesport says that it has lost some 300,000 euros in the five years that it has been operating the pool and that it has no more money to pay for heating. There is now something of a stand-off, with the town hall lamenting the poor state of the pool and not prepared to spend what Gesport is asking for.
