Keep swimming in Forest Hill

Signatures are now over 3,500!

I walked along Willow Way yesterday afternoon. Of the 12 properties I was able to access (which is a majority of the businesses located there), 9 were absolutely against the idea of the depot site being used for public swimming pools. And only 3 were in favour. From the 9 businesses, I collected 25 signatures supporting our campaign.

Most of the people had no idea that the site had been proposed by the Mayor, none of the people in business units I spoke with had been consulted and all those opposed to the idea cited general inappropriateness of the site, particularly because of poor access, the difficulties they already had with their delivery vans, lack of parking, and the narrowness of the road. They also expressed a fondness for the Victorian buildings, the expectation that swimming pools should be on a main road not a back street and the general ease of access to the Dartmouth Road site.
