For anyone who doesn't know this building - there are some pictures here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Save-Haggerston-Pool/136728543014315
Unfortunately, due to the recession, the Council has had to abandon its plan due to refurbish Haggerston Pool and create a Health and Wellbeing Centre. This was to have included a hydro-therapy pool, GP surgery, dentist, gym and sports centre. The pool building has been mothballed. They have no current plans for its future.
So - we have set up an IDEAS meeting.
The aim of the meeting is to share ideas about alternative ways that the pool could be reopened in difficult financial times, yet in an area which has changed significantly since the closure of the pool 13 years ago. Jonathan McShane who is Hackney Council cabinet member for leisure, and a Haggerston Cllr, will be there to explain the current situation and to answer questions about the building,
But the main part of the meeting will be to discuss what ideas, contacts and skills we have between us - and the support for the pool's re-opening

We hope to see you there. Please get in touch if you'd like some more info in advance.
