Pool and Track closes for rebuilding

Pool and Track Closes

Why Walthamstow's swimming pool could not have been rebuilt on the car park while the existing pool continued to provide jobs and leisure facilities is a mystery. Once again the council ignored its residents and the divers have fought a successful battle and got the Planning Permission refused. It is too early to know if this will delay the new pool, but bear in mind a few years ago when the Larkswood Lido was redeveloped the new pool was a disaster and had to be closed and Chingford was without a pool for 6 years!

The Cathall Baths refurbishment is nearing completion and will open shortly as the Leytonstone Leisure Centre so that will be the venue of choice for the next few years, but the 
Chingford Leisure Centre is another option so why not be ambitious and pretend to be an Olympic athlete for a few minutes and go to the London Aquatics Centre!
