While sad to see the demise of the historic pools, it would be fantastic if the council built a proper sports centre, with squash courts and an indoor arena that could be used for five-a-side football, netball, badminton, tennis etc if we are to see genuine redevelopment of the Louise House / Pool / Parklet area. However, I fear that the inclusion of Louise House is merely a pretense to increase the area to be sold off for housing so some developer can get rich

For anyone who wants to see the original 15 options, the documents can be found here on the Lewisham website. The 15 options were reduced to two; one refurbishment and one rebuild. The rebuild option provided for a single, six lane 25m pool. I really hope we end up with a better facility.
