I'd like a pool with adequate lane swimming facilities at reasonable times.
My fear is that it will turn into a 'fun' pool at the expense of basic swimming - many other pools in London seem to be going the same way.

I am of course very angry to hear about the loss of the Victorian building. I've always felt it adds character and I don't see how any new building is going to complement the library. But let's face it, the old FH pool didn't stand a chance after so many years of abject neglect. I used it regularly and even basic maintenance was not being undertaken. The toilets were often broken, showers didn't work etc.

I believe the council have now got the result they always wanted, with the possible bonus of them being able to sell land off to developers.
