Then I shall campaign against this design as I have successfully campaigned against Tyson Road development, Manor Mount, Red Cross site on London Road, and with some success on the Finches site.

The council have agreed to work with the Sydenham Society and the Forest Hill Society and the FH Society has put together a group of swimmers and architects to work with the council on this consultation on the design process. We intend to ask probing questions but to work in a constructive and honest way. The FH Society welcome the opportunity to have this input and intend that it will give us a building of which all people in Forest Hill can be proud (and use).

The drawings op the other thread as I understand it were provisional sketches based on keeping Louise House and only demolishing the pools. This option has now been completely defeated and the larger site should give us the opportunity to get a well designed building. If the council proposes a shed to replace two well respected buildings then they will find there are a lot of people opposing their plans at every opportunity they get. If this means we end [/quote]up without anything there, that is better than a eyesore for 50 years, and we can wait for a few years for a the council to give us the right design - but I do not think it will come to that.
