Dear Mr Cameron

Thank you for your information request of 10 January 2020.  Aberdeen City
Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information
requested. Our response is now detailed below.

please provide copies of inspection reports of swimming pools carried out
by your council in the last five years,

I am seeking reports of any formal, regular inspection carried out at
public pools in your area.

All Operational buildings and those operated by the Council’s wholly owned
Arms Length Organisations have condition surveys carried out at least
every 5 years. That includes stand alone swimming pools and pools within
schools.

The Council has the following pools:-

• Beach Leisure Centre
• Bucksburn Swimming Pool
• Cults Academy
• Aberdeen Grammar
• Bridge of Don Swimming Pool
• Dyce Academy
• Dyce Primary
• Orchard Brae
• Northfield Swimming Pool (currently closed prior to
refurbishment/extension)
• Lochside Academy

Please see attached ref –

EIR-20-0042 - Aberdeen Grammar Swimming Pool Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Beach Leisure Centre Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Bridge of Don Swimming Pool Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Bucksburn Swimming Pool Condition survey

EIR-20-0042 - Cults Academy Swimming Pool Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Dyce Academy Swimming Pool Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Dyce Primary School Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Northfield Swimming Condition Survey

EIR-20-0042 - Tullos Swimming Pool Condition Survey

Please note the following:-

• some pools are included within the wider building survey for example
Aberdeen Grammar, where possible only the pool information has been
provided
• There are no condition surveys for Orchard Brae and Lochside Academy
as they are new buildings
• The condition survey format has changed, some assets use the new
format (excel) while others are the old one (pdf)
• Hazlehead Academy Pool is closed permanently and is not included

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR REQUEST

As the information which you requested is environmental information, as
defined under Regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Information (Scotland)
Regulations 2004 (the EIRs), we considered that it was exempt from release
through FOISA, and must therefore give you notice that we are refusing 
your request under Section 39(2) of FOISA (Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002).  However, you have a separate right to access the
information which you have requested under Regulation 5 of the EIRs, under
which we have handled your request. Please refer to the attached PDF for
more information about your rights under the EIRs.

We hope this helps with your request.
