LOVE YOUR LOCAL LIDO!
Outdoor Swimmer mascot Beans at Tooting Lido
Yesterday a friend sent a worried Whatsapp message to me with a link to a Guardian article about my local outdoor pool, Brockwell Lido in south London, being under threat of immediate closure because of lack of funding; followed shortly afterwards by a second message apologising after she realised the article dated from 2002! A lot has changed in the past 17 years.
