Hi, I am a wheelchair user living in Shoreditch. Haggerston pool would be, I think, my local public swimming pool, were it open. I hope that now we've got the Olympic bid, that it might now reopen, and that it could be made accessible for wheelchair users. This is especially relevant, as the paralympic games are part of the olympics, so, with the eyes of the world on london, we should be doing more to make our city more accessible. Swimming is a great sport for all people, and I've been reccomended to do it by physiotherapists. What's the chances of it reopening AND being accessible for all? best wishes, Mandi Peers
