Regarding the building, in general lewisham build stuff like this:

New flats generally now look like this:

Laban centres are not very common (and the laban centre didn't have much to do with Lewisham, most funding came from the arts council). At a time when most sports spending is going to the olympics, I would suggest that cost is a major proviso in the replacement/renovation of the pools.

Think how much money the council has already spent on meetings and bottled water!

I've just been advised that Lewisham Council are working to an early program of demolition of the entire site.

Having just read the final report of the LBL Leisure Investment Strategy Review, dated December 2004, which was written by Capita Consulting I am extremely concerned as it states:

I am now sceptical that, in the end, we will have any swimming facilities in Forest Hill . . . . .

I actually went inside the pools today. They are open (a door was was left wide open around the back, no-one seemed to be in there). Not only are they still full of water apparently (I didn't get to the main pool bit), but they are heated. It was hot in there.

Not sure why they still have water, apparently its because they are leaking (yeah, I'm confused about that too). But even stranger is why they are heated!
