Consultation about swimming pool refurbishment nowadays means "We are now ready to tell you formally that there will have to be luxury flats and you have to agree to it or you don't get somewhere to swim" ... as usual.
"THE people of Kentish Town will get the chance to have their say on the refurbishment of their historic Victorian baths today (Thursday 19/07/07).
Limbrick Limited Architecture and Design, which has been commissioned to transform Kentish Town baths into a 21st century leisure centre, will present the planning proposals at a meeting at 6.30pm at Kentish Town Library, Kentish Town Road.
The meeting has been organised by Camden Council's planning division to give people an opportunity to ask questions and comment ahead of the architect submitting an application.
It is expected that an application for planning permission will be submitted in September.
Camden Council will then formally consult with residents and the application will be considered by the development control committee.
The £25.3million proposals will see the Grade II listed building refurbished to include two swimming pools, a learner pool, gym and studio space. They also include plans for 10 flats and four town houses. "
