Look, basically the council and the Mayor are hacked off that their original plans to bulldoze the site and build a massive block of flats with a pool somewhere tucked behind it, have been scuppered by public disapproval and a heritage listing. Their response to this is clear - do everything possible to let the site rot until it HAS to be bulldozed. Ingore good ideas and dismiss possible options.

Of course the pools should be in Forest Hill - this is the town centre and where the pools have been for decades. What's the damn problem!

Of course I'd like to be proved wrong.....

How about changing the town name to Sydenham?
