Row Over Crematorium Heating For Swimmers

[TheNorm]

Moves to warm a swimming pool with heat generated by an adjacent crematorium have sparked outrage.

Personally, I think this is a good idea.

What do you think?

[Ramrod]

No problem with it at all

Who do Unison think they are representing in this particular case?

Personally, I don't think it's their place to comment (and I have no problem with the idea).

I'm a UNISON member - yet, I have no problem with energy sharing at all...It's fine, if there's excess heat then use it to heat the pool.

I think that particular UNISON secretary has a bee in his bonnet about his local council.

Quite innovative really, only problem is if you fancy a dip to help get over cremating a relative, still that wont be a problem most of the time and perhaps they can console themselves with the thought "it's what they would have wanted".

Are UNISON campaigning for the rights of thermal energy?

What business is this of theirs? Shouldn't they be representing their members rather than taking political pot shots at the government?

It's so transparent it's beyond parody. Just another part of their politically motivated agitation and frankly an insult to their members who are paying their dues that their union is spending time on such things.

I imagine when the electorate are asked what they think of the idea it will get a thumbs up..and I suspect most of the local Unison members will be happy with the arrangement too.

If it saves money then I see no issue.

If not there could be a heated debate lol.

I think it's an excellent idea. I saw a piece on our local BBC News about it and it came over that if they can't use the energy to heat the pool there's a prospect the leisure centre may not be built due to the financial restrictions.

I think it's a disgraceful idea and i think that unison should get the backing of all major unions and have a national strike .We cannot have local authorities being this efficient it's a disgrace and bang out of order ,i mean the savings could be quite substantial. Next thing we know the authority will want to give extra services to use the money instead of going on a fact finding junket to the Bahamas . They should immediately have a costly public inquiry to find out who's idea this was followed by immediate suspention on full pay for the individual

Were will it all end
