Council to save money – and combat global warming – by heating a swimming pool using heat generated by crematorium

Redditch Council in Worcestershire reckon they could save nearly £15K a year, by using the heat generated from the crematorium incinerators, next door to their new Abbey Stadium sports centre.

Who thinks this is a good idea? Or is such a (relatively!) small amount of money not worth saving, at the risk of people feeling the whole idea lacks respect for the recently departed ...?

  1. I don't have a problem with the heating source - others, more squeamish, may have!
