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.

Hot Air Force One strikes on Forest Hill Pools

Hot Air Force One, the flagship misinformation flying machine powered by the hot air spontaneously produced by Lewisham Council's leadership, has carried a full scale attack on Forest Hill Pools in the early evening of Wednesday 5th October.

As the people of Forest Hill were gathered in a School Hall to attend what they thought was a public meeting to openly discuss the future of the pools, in a simultaneous maneuver, the Mayor, two cabinet members, the head of Community services at Lewisham Council and a consultant form Capita started to pump hot air into the craft that was soon airborne.

It soon became clear to all those in the venue that the target of this first strike was primarily the resident's intelligence system.
To leave Forest Hill in the dark about the plans of Lewisham Council would give Option 2 (demolition and rebuilt) a great advantage.

This was only the first strike of an operation that Lewisham Council meticulously planned over the last 6 months and is code-named "Consultation Storm".
It was the first time that Lewisham Council resolved to bring forward a coordinated attack on the pools in almost a decade.
The ruthless efficiency and single-mindedness displayed during the strike should have pleased the commander in chief, but in spite of the mighty power of the Council and the deployment of Hot Air Force One, the operation didn't yield the expected results.
Pockets of resistance are now communicating, sharing information about the Council's known tactics and a counter-attack is expected soon.

Hot Air Force One is still hovering above Forest Hill and dropping 45,000 consultation questionnaires advising the population not to resist the forces of the Lewisham Council/Capita coalition.

Consultation Storm is expected to last almost until the end of November. ...read more...
