The Council website carries news of the Mayor's decision which includes the following...

Quote:
Sir Steve Bullock accepted the recommendations of Council officers and engineering experts at a meeting of the Mayor and Cabinet on 13 February....It came as a real blow to find that the work needed to refurbish the pool was much greater than we anticipated.?

Several surveys of the pool were conducted by engineers showed the pools are beyond repair. Attempts to refurbish them would result in spiralling costs. Steve said: ?Faced with that fact, I took the only responsible decision that someone in my position could do ? replace the Victorian building with a modern 21st century building.


Sorry, but I am getting fed up with the 'poor me' line the Mayor keeps taking. Did he not notice since 2003 the reviews, reports and surveys put before him regarding concerns about the pools?

In their Options Review of August 2005 (prior consultation) Capita recommended that...

Quote:
Option One (total refurb) should not be taken forward in view of its high costs against the risk of failure.

therefore I don't understand why only the two options were put forward for consultation and the Mayor was left with a decision two months prior to an election.

According to the latest report to the Mayor it sates Capita were asked to produce only 2 options within a ?4-5m budget. Well thankfully there appears to have been a major communication breakdown and Capita misunderstood their brief, or did they?

Quote:
In discussion with key stakeholders, we have agreed that our Project Objective is

?to prepare a simple Design and Costing exercise to investigate eight
options as to the refurbishment of all or part of the existing buildings
and/or redevelopment of the Forest Hill Pools to provide a 25 metre
pool and/or learner pool.?
