Beresfield Pool Lifeline
Entry fees to the Beresfield Pool are set to be slashed by about 40 per cent in a move aimed at making the facility more affordable for the community.
Newcastle Councillors voted last night to reduce the fees, making an adult entry ticket now $2.80 instead of the proposed $5.00.
Beresfield is the only pool which council will operate this swimming season, with the city's 4 other pools to be run by private operators.
It's hoped the reduction in entry fees will encourage more patronage in a bid to prevent the pool being closed down in 12 months time.
The new fee structure is being put on public exhibition for 28 days before being adopted in time for the summer swimming season.

Anglican Church Included In Child Sex Abuse Probe
The Newcastle Diocese of the Anglican Church has become a new focus of the Royal Commission into child sexual abuse.
The church has provided tens of thousands of documents to the Commission relating to every Newcastle Anglican Bishop dating back to the 1950s.
The current Bishop, Greg Thompson admits it was more than likely there were serial perpetrators in the Hunter and people of significant influence in the church who failed to respond to abuse allegations when they were first made.
