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.

Now even readers of Private Eye know that parents and residents oppose this and voted for an alternative policy.

Apparently this proposal didn't leave a trace in the official report of the meeting. So Mayor Steve Bullock is now left as the only one in Britain to ignore it.
