How to anwser the unanswerable consultation

Click here

and you will automatically create an email addressed to the people running the consultation on Ladywell Pool and send one copy to us, the Mayor and the local press.

By sending this email you will be able to express your opinion without having to fill this purposely deceitful online questionnaire that Lewisham Council would like you to fill.

Here's a full Q&A page to give you an overview of the issue.

This is the crucial question that you should carefully avoid to answer:

Q26.     With the above advantages and disadvantages of both locations in mind which of the two options are you most in favour of?

    - Replace the existing Ladywell Leisure Centre with a new facility on the same site

    - Build a new leisure centre at Loampit Vale

    - No opinion/Don't know

Please note that the questionnaire is designed is such a way that if you don't answer to it you cannot proceed with the rest of the questionnaire.

Can this be answered? No, not at least if you disagree with both option one and two and contrary to option three you do have an opinion to put forward to the Council, our opinion for example is quite clear:

Either refurbish Ladywell Pool or go back to the drawing board!!!

Please handle this questionnaire carefully, it is much safer to express your opinion through the email facility provided above.
Answering to the questionnaire would amount to endorse the appalling plan for the new pool at Loampit Vale that is extremely poor and it is not in the interest of this community.
Read here the full Q&A before proceeding. If you have further doubt, please contact us.

Last Friday 15th June we contacted the people running this awful consultation (link) on behalf of Lewisham Council and asked them to change the wording of this question to allow other opinions to be expressed.
At fist they agreed but told us that they needed to have the Council's agreement.
After 5 minutes the person we spoke with called us back and told us "I didn't call the Council because... we are an independent consultant! I went to read the Mayor and Cabinet papers and can confirm that there are only those two choices."
