"Chipping Norton Lido is one of the few remaining open-air pools in the country and when it was threatened with closure members of the local community campaigned to keep the facility open. A dedicated group of local residents now manage the pool, which has become a real social enterprise success story and is well –regarded for its work with young people."

"It does look as though the wool has been pulled over our eyes, but it is hopefully not too late to man the barricades if we have to. Keep your eyes and ears open for the next steps."
