New Pool gets closer

Plans for a health and leisure centre with a 100 station gym , dance studio & 25m swimming pool in West Norwood  are now awaiting the last  stages of approval by the NHS and Government.

Lambeth council and NHS Lambeth have  agreed  their final detailed proposals  for the centre, on the green opposite West Norwood train station. The plans are now with NHS London and  civil servants, firstly at  the Department for Communities and Local Government – which has already approved the funding in principle, and then at  The  Treasury.

Once agreed, building work could start in the summer 2012.
