I bet he doesn't. There's been a pretty transparent manoeuvre to appease all parties through the pretence of pursuing the "preservation" option.

Blaming the council for their gross negligence may not get us a new pool but that doesn't mean you should all just roll over and accept what is being imposed.

They must be held to account. The continuing incompetence is plain to see when 3 years on (excuse me repeating myself) nothing has happened.

3 years would have been sufficient to have designed and built a new pool, or refurbsihed the old one.

But you have to ask yourself why we got to this position in the first place and there was never a 5 or 10 year plan to ensure swimming provision.

It's because they had no intention of providing swimming facilities in Forest Hill and given the chance they'd rather not.
