Repair Brighton's Kings Road paddling pool and keep it open for summer 2025
Those signing this petition ask for the Kings Road paddling pools to be repaired and for the facility to reopen for the community and thousands of visitors during the summer of 2025.
Why is this important?
Brighton and Hove Council have a responsibility to ensure the safety of children along the Brighton seafront.
The sea can be an unsuitable environment for children, even in the summer months, and as such, providing a way for children to interact with the water safely is essential.
The Kings Road paddling pools allow children to play with water safely, without needing to enter the sea.
Brighton & Hove Council have taken the decision to close the pool due to repairs needed and a lack of funding. The decision will see the pool closed for the whole of summer 2025.
This decision will see more children entering the sea.
