Hinksey Pool is owned by the city council NEARLY £11m has been given to Oxford City Council to help it run a heated swimming pool and its biggest buildings on green energy. The £10.9m government grant comes just days after Oxford City Council s plans to become a truly zero carbon council by 2030 were revealed. Hinksey outdoor pool could be heated with renewable energy with a £1.6m pot of cash from the funding. This will be used to explore how a water source heat network might be used to heat the pool, which is one of the largest outdoor swimming pools in the south of England, with a 1,300 capacity.
