Petition updateRetain diving facilities at Park Road Leisure Centre in Crouch EndPrecedents at other diving pools
Save Park Road Diving Pool
12 Feb 2014
In an interesting set of comments at the Great Britain Diving Federation Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/gbdiving John Whitby notes that the situation we face at Park Road is by no means unprecedented, with movable floors having resulting in a loss of diving despite prior assurances to the contrary. On the positive side, Whitby notes that diving at Fulwell Cross Leisure Centre http://www.vision-rcl.org.uk/fullwell_home.html was successfully defended and survived the threatened introduction of a non-diving-compatible movable floor. The campaign is seeking to get a fuller understanding of how it came about that Fusion Lifestyle won the bid for the operation of Haringey's Leisure Centres on the basis of a tender that included cost-estimates for diving pool improvements at Park Road which proved to be several-fold too low, despite Fusion's extensive previous experience in this area.
