Petition updateRetain diving facilities at Park Road Leisure Centre in Crouch EndCross-party support for the campaign to save the diving pool at Park Road
Save Park Road Diving Pool
7 Feb 2014
Not only do we have the support of Lynne Featherstone, Lib Dem MP for Hornsey & Wood Green, but earlier this week David Lammy, Labour MP for Tottenham, added his voice to the campaign, noting: "The Diving Pit at Park Road Pools is not only an important cultural institution for people across the borough; it is one of the few remaining public diving facilities across England. Since 1977, London has seen a 94% reduction in the number of public diving facilities, from ninety-six to now just six venues. However, interest in diving is at an all-time high, no doubt due to the successes of the Olympic Games in 2012. As the Honorary President of Haringey Aquatics, I am deeply concerned by the proposed plans, and I will be pressuring Haringey Council and Fusion to reconsider their position in order to save the cultural gem."
