Spa Pool at Captain Tom's Daughter's Home Removed After Losing Appeal

The unauthorised spa pool at the home of Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter was removed following a failed appeal against a demolition order, marking a significant development in the ongoing controversy.

• The spa pool at Captain Sir Tom Moore's daughter's home was removed by crane after an appeal to keep the unauthorised building was lost.
• Central Bedfordshire Council had ordered the demolition of the spa block, named the Captain Tom Foundation Building, which was in violation of planning permissions.
• The demolition comes amid an investigation by the Charity Commission into the management and independence of the Captain Tom Foundation.
• The spa pool was initially intended to offer rehabilitation sessions for elderly people in the area, according to the family's representatives.
• Captain Sir Tom Moore, who raised £38.9 million for NHS Charities Together, was knighted in 2020 and passed away in February 2021.
