Event Description

Supporters of the campaign to save Haggerston Pool are bitterly disappointed that the two shortlisted bids do not include a proposal with a swimming pool. Details of the bids are given in the Hackney Citizen and Hackney Gazette articles.

Supporters have now heard that the Council are holding a public meeting, which will be advertised through Hackney Today, and notices on the pool building.
