I BELIEVE, without doubt, that the Knap Lido should be restored to its former glory. Summers just haven't been the same since it closed.

My whole family learnt to swim at the "baths" and we used to spend almost every summer day there, all day on weekends and even straight from school.

It was a safe place to send your children for the day, somewhere for them to meet up with old friends and make new. Even on overcast days the grassed areas were used for ball games.

Please don't sell off the land for yet more houses. Please restore our wonderful pool and give the local children somewhere to go in the long summer holidays.
