Good to see vital role of Lido’s acknowledged by @lisanandy in Parliament today and recognition for our campaigning work @JessicaToale & Simon Opher MP
Please enjoy the sounds of a cool lido and of delighted children playing in a pool on a hot summer’s day.
These clips are from Shap and Greystoke pools, two of a cluster of five village pools in Cumbria’s Eden Valley.
Find them on our Lido Map, here https://t.co/eytftO5kOe
@Michaeldwood74@Dr_Ellie@future_lidos Yes to all of this. We've been campaigning and working through due diligence for over a decade. Now we have planning permission, there is no money. Swimming should be a central artery of our healthy hearts. Fun, safety, fitness, joy. Let's build a better future.
@Dr_Ellie Fantastic article. Declining numbers of pools, and swimming perhaps no longer seen as a fun family activity. At @future_lidos we've been campaigning and researching the public demand to see more joyous sites created to help people reconnect and love water. https://t.co/YUd4L22Zkh

How can Labour revive the lido? 🏊
In the 1930s, the Labour-led lido programme showed that municipal socialism could create popular infrastructure and political credibility.
After a sweltering week, it’s time to renew that legacy.
In The People’s Pools, @GR1900 sets out how to fund and deliver new and restored lidos.
