Letter: Volunteers could open Peterborough’s Lido
How desperately sad it was to see a photograph of Peterborough’s empty Lido in the Daily Telegraph this week.
Does the city council have a plan in place for when this fantastic facility is allowed to open?
The French authorities have managed to open pools with pre-booking a time slot, limiting the pool activity to lane swimming and customers arriving swim ready.
Whilst I am a regular swimmer, I am thinking of those people I see at the pool for whom swimming is a necessity for their mobility.
If the council needed volunteers to assist in getting the Lido ready for opening, I am sure many of us would form an orderly, socially-distanced queue.
