Keep Swimming in Forest Hill
Result:
On 15th July 2009 the Mayor and Cabinet of the London Borough of Lewisham decided to pursue a new option for Forest Hill Pools known as Option 3. This became possible because the Council was able to source £3 million from elsewhere in its budget. They are now publicly committed to building new pools on the Dartmouth Road site, starting straightaway. They are also publicly committed to retaining the frontage block of the old pools building as part of the new building.
The campaign to Keep Swimming in Forest Hill was thus successful on all counts. Thank you very much to everyone who helped us in every way.

We, the undersigned, call on the Mayor of Lewisham to replace the Victorian swimming pools on Dartmouth Road as soon as possible, while retaining the frontage block.
We ask the Council to keep swimming on the present site as this will help revive Forest Hill as a vibrant town centre. A leisure centre hidden on Willow Way will damage the vitality of Forest Hill.
