Apart from anything else, Steve Bullock has at least spoken of his committment to refurbishing the pool.
If he were to go in an election (if there was one), any succesor may not need to honour his plans...

Having said that, I really don't see why we can't have better updates of information from Lewisham on the matter. There should be some sort of scrutiny over the process that we could have access to on a formal and free basis.

We pay for this stuff and we should have better information!

(I also seem to recall the refurb involves losing the balcony - such a shame.)
