Councillor Rachel Connolly, who represents Bridgnorth on Shropshire Council, has pointed to the recent investment of £28 million to revamp a sports village in Shrewsbury.
Last week, councillors at the cash-strapped Conservative-run authority voted to approve initial spending of £2.25 million on the project to allow the drawing up of detailed designs and to submit a planning application.
The Sports Village at Sundorne is set to be transformed with a 25metre-long competition pool at its heart plus seating for 250 spectators and space for 250 competitors.
