Commenter calls Sky Pool "an environmental catastrophe"
In this week's comments update, readers are debating the heating costs of the controversial Sky Pool at the Embassy Gardens development in London and discussing other top stories.
Residents at the Embassy Gardens development in southwest London claim its Sky Pool is too cold to be used in winter, despite heating costs of £450 a day.
The transparent swimming pool, which is suspended 35 metres in the air between two buildings, should be closed during the colder months to save money and energy, according to some residents.
Developer Ballymore claims the pool "remains a popular amenity".
"They can use the pool as a high-altitude ice skating rink"
Commenters are divided. "This is an environmental catastrophe," said Kath Scott. "Why are we allowing things like this to be built in a climate emergency"" Mr Sustainable agreed: "Shame on HAL for proposing such an irresponsible feature. Architects should know better and advise clients, even if it means saving on budget."
"I live there," replied Tom. "It is a development sold with an asset that has a service charge funding it. No one asked me to live there or to pay for it so I don't get why residents would complain. Go live elsewhere if you don't like it."
"They could use the pool as a high-altitude ice skating rink!" suggested Amaury Rafael Arroyo.
