Splashmob brilliantly showed how much we all love the pond and value it. Thanks to everyone who came and everyone who supported it: more about the media, social media and videos below. We have a few more days while the pool is open to act to save it. What you can do in the next few days Petition. We are planning to hand the petition in shortly: let’s make sure it reaches 5000 signatures bit.ly/kxpondpetition. Share the love! Please keep sharing and tweeting #savekxpond, and ask at least one friend to sign the petition and comment on it! Share and send us your photos, videos and thoughts, too, @savekxpond, savekxpondcampaign@gmail.com Tell Camden Council you think the swimming pond is the best use of the land. If you live in Camden, please contact your local councillor and write to Camden Council. Invite them to be positive towards having the pond at the heart of the development, and ask them to consult local people and visitors on whether they want the pond as well as parks and art.
