The veteran politician, a keen swimmer himself, said he doesn’t “understand” the situation – particularly during school holidays, including the recent October week, when young people are looking for things to do.Councillor McMillan, who represents Johnstone South and Elderslie, reflecting on the October break said: “It’s a shame that the pool is lying empty.

That’s 20 hours a week which is quite a lot. I don’t understand it.”The pool is open 7am until 11am and 3pm until 9pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 7am until 11am and 3pm until 8pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and 9am until 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, according to OneRen’s website.
