Theresa Villiers, MP for Chipping Barnet, today opened a brand new swimming pool next to Frith Manor School in Lullington Garth, Woodside Park. The swimming pool was built by Oakleigh Park School of Swimming who run a number of pools in Theresa's Chipping Barnet constituency.
Before cutting the ribbon to formally open the pool, Theresa said "I pay tribute to Jonathan Rolfe of the Oakleigh Park School of Swimming, who has worked incredibly hard for around 8 years to get this new facility set up."
"I remember when he first approached me for help on this 6 or 7 years ago. There have been some ups and downs over the years and it is great to see that Jonathan's hard work means we have this new pool."
"I am sure this facility will be great for Frith Manor School and will also be popular with my constituents living nearby. We all know the importance of encouraging children and young people to be more active and take exercise and I am sure this swimming pool will play a useful part in that."
