It's so important to remember and celebrate those who fought for the Lido to remain open and I really hope my event can do that for them and the local community. Good luck with Broomhill Pool - don't give up! Adriana Dear Sally,

But... the timing of the advertisement appears to have been dovetailed in with the expiration of their offer of the million pounds towards restoration. (Was due to expire on December 31st 2009; the Broomhill Pool Trust petitioned for an extension but this was not granted) The Executive of Ipswich Borough Council duly met on 15th December 2009 and resolved to remove the million pounds from the Council's budget.
