The Infrastructure Minister has said he is open to 'all options' when it comes to making the 129-year-old structure safe, including demolition.
Deputy Jonathon Renouf said in the States Assembly that when a child was pulled through the wall last month, it was a 'lucky escape' that it was not something 'much more serious'.

He said, 'We cannot rely on luck again.'
Additional measures have been installed to improve public safety, mainly warning signs, but it remains unsafe to swim in the pool.
He said:
"We are now considering short-term measures that would make the site safer, whilst bearing in mind the structure's Grade 4 listing.
"We then need to consider the long-term future of the marine pool, alongside other investment and maintenance priorities."
He said that he is considering 'all options' when it comes to long-term, which he confirmed when questioned by Deputy Morel, includes removing the structure entirely.
The structure is currently Grade 4 listed.
The Minister said that if the Government decided not to fund an estimated £600,000 restoration, it would be delisted as part of that process.
