Refurbishment was strongly supported - possibly because many did not trust the council not to have a rethink on the land's use after clearing the site.

And here is that link to the private eye article on the pools again:

That the council cannot even honestly report the result of the consultation speaks volumes.

Forest Hill pools is historically significant for london. Louise House is historically significant for forest hill and I feel just as sad that the girls industrial home could also be lost.
It could have provided computer facilities/periodical resources/reading rooms as well as community facilities - leaving the library to concentrate on books.

The narrow park was provided to compensate for a park lost nearby. Where will the nearest park be if this too is built over?

One can only hope that in compensation for these losses, there will only be a token entry fee for the new facility, (should it ever be built.)
