Gaz,
I'm not sure how the online responses skew the results. Yes, it is possible for different family members to vote online but it is equally likely for that to happen in favour of either option. What is clear is that those completing online or by post were most interested in swimming (see my reference to slide 10).

Across all groups, people said they would be more likely to visit the pool in Dartmouth Road (see slide 18). This is why national planning guidance recommends building pools in town centres, and we are very lucky to have just such a site which has been in use for the last 125 years.

You could be right, that all those people who said that they would not go swimming in Willow Way would change their minds once the pool is built. But it also at least as likely that, having built a pool in a back street, outside the town centre, on the edge of an industrial park, with even less parking than the Dartmouth Road site, that even less people will choose to swim in Willow Way.

I also think that results could have been significantly different if they had included the other area of Forest Hill in Crofton Park ward, where people were excluded from the survey (other than online). Crofton Park ward includes all the houses on the north side of Standstead Road, whereas every house in Sydenham ward is closer to Willow Way (although I would like to acknowledge that even in Sydenham there is considerable support for the pool to remain in Forest Hill town centre - just probably not a majority).

Where I completely agree with you is that I hope the mayor does not pay too much attention to the statistics, and instead considers what is right for SE23 and the surrounding area; which site can get planning approval for a new pool fastest, which site is best for a pool according to national and regional planning guidance, and according to all the council officers to whom I have spoken, and which pool will be the more inspiring and more visited site.
