About Us

In 2004Lewisham Council announced plans to demolish Ladywell Leisure Centre in 2007 - we saved it! The pool will stay open until the forecast replacement is ready.  Sadly the plan is awfully inadequate and instead of being a plan for a community sport and leisure centre it is a plan for a lifestyle pool for the new residential developments to be built in front of Lewisham Station.

Public Meeting on Monday 12th September


Monday 12th September 2005


8 pm - Ladywell Leisure Centre


261 Lewisham High Street SE13 6NY

Summer holiday are almost behind us, but we haven't been still and we have a lot of new material to work with.

It's time to reflect together on the best way forward, to make the Council accountable for its decisions and to correct them for the better.

We can save the Ladywell Leisure Centre and avoid the consequences of a hypocritical and incompetent decision that will, if allowed to proceed, build a school in the wrong place, leave 100,000 people without a swimming pool/leisure centre for who knows how many years and deny the children of the north of the borough their right to a secondary school place at a nearby school.
And all this at a cost of £22m of our tax money.

We're on the right track to achieve that critical mass of evidence that will force the Council to take a look at itself and feel ashamed.

There is just enough time to do it between now and the next Council election in May 2006.

It's a civic duty!
