(No. B/1141) Dr. S. Prayag (First Member for Piton & Rivière du Rempart) asked the Minister of Youth and Sports whether, in regard to the Rivière du Rempart Swimming Pool, he will state whether a survey of the state of the facilities thereof, including the pumps, changing rooms and tiers has been carried out, indicating whether consideration will be given for the urgent reinstatement thereof.
Madam Speaker, as I had already indicated since my taking of office, several sports infrastructure all over the island are either out of use or in a bad state. The Rivière du Rempart Swimming Pool, which is managed and maintained by the Mauritius Sports Council since 01 July 2022, forms part of those infrastructures which are in a bad state, although in a lower scale.
59 I am informed by the Mauritius Sports Council that the Riviere du Rempart Swimming Pool is operational and it is manned by some 15 persons. It is being used on average by some 100 users on a daily basis. A recent survey and safety and health inspection have revealed that only one of the three water pumps is in operation. A door was damaged in the changing room and a chemical which is currently stored in the pump room should be relocated outside. The scope of work for the repairs of the water pump is being prepared while that of the construction of a storage facility has been finalised and tender will be launched shortly. The damaged door has already been repaired.
Okay. Now, PQs B/1126, B/1142, B/1153, B/1167, and B/1169 have been withdrawn. I am going to try and follow. INTERTOWN GAMES – MUNICIPAL COUNCILS’ ENGAGEMENT
