Hello,

I hope everyone is having a good week. We now have over 800 signatures for this petition and some wonderful comments about what Jacobs Wells Baths mean to you. So many have talked about swimming at the baths or going to community dance classes. It has also been truly inspiring hearing how many of you want to see this wonderful building transformed into a community hub. 

As some of you may know, Emma Harvey (CEO of Trinity Old Market) raised the flag to save Jacobs Wells Baths for community use. You can read what she has to say here 

Impermanence Dance is also supporting the campaign to see Jacobs Wells Baths retained for community and dance use. You can find out more about them here
