Please enjoy the sounds of a cool lido and of delighted children playing in a pool on a hot summer’s day. These clips are from Shap and Greystoke pools, two of a cluster of five village pools in Cumbria’s Eden Valley. Find them on our Lido Map, here futurelidos.org/lido-map

Fantastic article. Declining numbers of pools, and swimming perhaps no longer seen as a fun family activity. At @future_lidos we've been campaigning and researching the public demand to see more joyous sites created to help people reconnect and love water. theconversation.com/a-brief-…

A brief history of British lidos – and new hope for their return to glory

The boom of lido construction in the 20th century was part of the post war public works programme, which aimed to create jobs and promote health.

How can Labour revive the lido? 🏊 In the 1930s, the Labour-led lido programme showed that municipal socialism could create popular infrastructure and political credibility. After a sweltering week, it’s time to renew that legacy. In The People’s Pools, @GR1900 sets out how to fund and deliver new and restored lidos.

We recommend reading this debate in Parliament last week on the importance of community lidos, which includes a valuable contribution from our local MP @helenhayes_ . hansard.parliament.uk/common… The debate stressed a number of things, all relevant to Brockwell Lido (contd)..

For the same price as upgrading Moor Farm roundabout, you could have two Northumberland Lines. So why are local politicians prioritising the roundabout?
Graeme Pickering@PickGSMar 30
1/ Bedlington, the 6th and final station to form part of the £336.4m Northumberland Line project, reconnecting communities between Newcastle and Ashington to the rail network, officially opened today. But local politicans are adamant it won't be the last.
Bedlington station double arrow sign at corner of Ravensworth St and Clayton Road with blue sky behind it on a sunny day. Old building in middle distance from previous station is to be repurposed into a restaurant and tarmac path leading up to Newcastle bound platform.
