The officer's report to the Mayor and Cabinet is very specific about the way forward:

It is proposed to commission feasibility work to examine how a two pool option could be delivered taking into account the listing of Louise
House. This further work will include examination of how Louise House
and possibly the existing pool frontage could be incorporated into a
new scheme for the site. Section 8.2

Now this is exactly the "two option" approach (one option with demolition and one without) which was discussed earlier on this thread.

I very much hope that our two Civic Societies will welcome this approach and press the Council for a more speedy programme of work to this end.

We can of course spend our time arguing over old ground or criticising LBL's handling of this issue (and there's plenty of ammunition here to keep us going until well past Christmas!).

Alternatively, we can move forward and work with the council through the stakeholders group to come up with the details of such a scheme.

I'm bored with going over the same arguments time and time again. I want pools. A specific proposal is on the table which points the way forward. Surely our Civic Societies are going to welcome this approach and help us to move forward?
