The Ashburton District Council has proposed closing the Tinwald Community Pool - despite protests from residents in the area.
One of them is Myshell Box, who's lived in Tinwald for over 35 years, and was previously involved with the pool's committee.
The Ashburton District Council say the pipes beneath the pool are leaking and it will cost 3 million dollars to fix.
But locals are questioning why their beloved pool has been allowed to get into such a state of disrepair leaving the only options being a costly repair or a full closure.
