New swimming pool to get nod


THE building of a new borough swimming pool is set to be agreed tonight.

Lewisham Mayor Steve Bullock is set to give the nod for a 25m eight-lane competition pool and teaching pool at the Loampit Vale site in Lewisham.

At the mayor and cabinet meeting at the civic suite, Catford, Mr Bullock will also note the results of a public consultation which took place in October.

Lewisham Council sent a leaflet to residents and 400 businesses and held a consultation event at Ladywell Leisure Centre about the Loampit Vale proposal.

The three-hectare development site will also include private and affordable housing and commercial space.
