I don't think Lewisham will ever refurbish or reopen the pools. Swimming pools, especially old ones, are very expensive to run and as we know money is in very short supply. Whatever the results of one, two, three or even a hundred public consultations on the Forest Hill Pool I am sure that Lewisham will continue to look for a reason to demolish the pools. Personally I don't have a problem with the idea of demolishing the pools so long as they are replaced with modern facilities. Peckham Pulse and Beckenham Spa are great facilities. I do object to public consultation exercises which are simply window dressing.
