Yes Roz you are correct in your assumption. I apologise for complicating matters but I have a pet hate of the human rights act ( or how it is used ) . I should have appreciated you were talking about children where of course different criteria apply.
I agree with you the building can come down. I have lived in the area all my life passed the building hundreds of times using pool and library and never thought it was remotely interesting. To conserve is going to cost money in these difficult times.
I wonder how many of the conservers used the Pool in the 50's when the changing shacks were alongside each pool. Your clothes ended up soaking wet.It was a pretty dreary place then and not very inviting.
