'I regret to say that Wychavon District Council voted by approximately 2 to 1 at their meeting this evening that the site of the Lido should be incorporated in the surrounding park - effectively condemning the Lido to demolition.

We at SALT intend to investigate ways in which our campaign might be continued - we have already heard very encouraging words from the Campaign for Protection of Rural England and we believe that the Dept of Culture Media and Sport may have blocked any immediate action by the Council pending their own investigation.'
