London Pools Campaign: Hendy Pool, things start to really move

The committee at Hendy Pool tell us that "The pool committee members are now meeting the consultants Hyder Consulting UK Ltd to view the first stage feedback from various community groups and consultees, the purpose of this meeting is to agree on prefered options upon which the pool committee members would like the consultants to make further investigations and consultations."

The Carmerthenshire Council website says:

"A survey is to be carried out on the future viability of returning Hendy Pool to use.
Financial assistance of £9,500 towards the study to investigate the development potential of the lido facility is being given by Carmarthenshire County Council.
The lido is beyond economic repair and would need to be replaced with a new structure costing £250,000, engineers have said.
Reports in recent years have suggested there is damage to the basin of the pool - which led to its closure - and patch up repairs of £100,000 would not offer a guarantee of lasting.
The council, in talks with the pool committee, has been trying to find a way forward. It has been agreed while the council cannot commit to being the lead organisation in delivering the pool back into use it will support the determined pool committee seeking funding for the project.
Council Executive Board member for leisure services, Clive Scourfield, said: "We are delighted to investigate the development potential of the pool in order to establish its sustainability as a community asset.
"The pool has been offered to the group at a peppercorn lease agreement with an additional offer to take on the surrounding park area.""
