EIGHTEEN months after they first mooted the idea of replacing paddling pools with splash parks, Harlow Council will discuss the findings of a report that looked at the pros and cons of the proposals.

Initially, it appeared that all councillors were in favour of the project, however a lifelong Harlow resident, Martin Dear started a petition calling for many of the paddling pools to be saved.

The report will be discussed at a meeting of the Harlow Council Scrutiny Committee on Tuesday February 11th at the Civic Offices in The Water Gardens.
