To ask the Scottish Executive what the timeline is for a decision on the business case for an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Aberdeen.
Answer
It is for sportscotland to consider the business case for an Olympic-sized swimming pool in Aberdeen as part of the formal application process. I am pleased that a formal application has now been submitted to sportscotland by Aberdeen City Council.
The application follows a two-stage process. I understand that Stage 1 is already underway and this would normally take around three weeks to consider with Stage 2 taking around three months, however this timescale is dependant upon sportscotland and Aberdeen City Council.
