"Lewisham mayoral candidates are pledging their support to the Save Ladywell Pool campaign. Reporter SAMANTHA PAYNE spoke to them about their plans for the pool if they win the elections.

Since it started in July 2004, the Save Ladywell Pool campaign has fought hard against the leisure centre being knocked down to make way for a new secondary school in the borough.

Campaign leader Max Calo sent a petition with 5,300 signatories to the council opposing the closure of the pool."
