Whilst reading the Sydenham Forum, (sorry Admin to mention a rival site, but we are all on the same side here), someone called Max wrote on March 17th regarding the reported leakages on the pools[/b]:

I have been contacted by a member of the Friends of Forest Hill Pools, the group that saved the pools twice in the past tweve years and he told me that he visited Forest Hill Library and read the full report of the contractors that was used to produce the report to the Mayor.

One surprising thing emerged from the reading, the fact that the alarming rate of leakage happened during the refilling of the pools and then it decreased to the usual rate and stabilized there. This detail was omitted in the report to the Mayor (and the public.)

This person has written to the Council and is now waiting a reply and I am eager to know what the Council will respond". )

I've attached the link to the site here:
