MADAM, At the council meeting on 25th June, it was great to hear that the six lane pool is going ahead, and that the discussions around it and the changes to the building plans will not delay the building of the new school that pupils in Monmouth so badly need. I was glad to hear Councillor Dimitri Batrouni, leader of Labour councillors, seeking - and getting -  assurances that there will be no delays and building on the school will start in September. We have the Welsh Government to thank for providing the 50 per cent match funding for this project.   Catherine Fookes (Monmouth)
