Forest Hill Society Response to the Pools Consultation

You can read the Forest Hill Society response to the May 2009 pools consultation by following this link.

CONCLUSIONS
5.1 We fully support the Council in a decision to return swimming and public leisure facilities to Forest Hill in the near future.
5.2 We continue to believe that the Dartmouth Road site is the most deliverable and appropriate site for this facility.
5.3 We believe that the recent Consultation supports the need for swimming in Forest Hill and that most people who would make use of the facility believe that this should be located on the existing Dartmouth Road site.
5.4 We would like to see a robust reconsideration of the delivery programme and budget requirements of this project, including consideration of any phasing potential of the development in order to provide a facility that the people of Forest Hill can make use of at the earliest opportunity.
5.5 We would welcome the opportunity to work with the Council to demonstrate the potential for live/work development on the Willow Way site.
