THE former vice-provost of East Lothian has become embroiled in a dispute with a leisure centre over the use of its hydrotherapy pool, even staging a sit-in protest at the centre on Tuesday against “elderly discrimination”.
David Costello, 79, of Prestonpans, has held a full membership at the Mercat Gait Sports Centre on the town’s Preston Road for years but says he has watched his friends – who also pay memberships – be turned away from its hydrotherapy pool due to where they live.
