To stop the rush closure of the lido, we need Stroud District Council to get proper information on all the options, and hold a transparent debate.
Your voice is critical to making that happen. Here’s what to do.
Write to your councillor
Councillors have the final vote to close the lido or not – so the most important thing to do now is write to your councillor.
You can say whatever you like, but we suggest saying:
- What closing the lido this summer would mean to you – write as much or little as you like
- Please urgently get more evidence – we need a full set of options, timelines and costs, for repair as well as upgarde
- Please don’t close the lido without proper debate – we need enough time to review all the evidence, so if necessary please postpone the vote on 16 April.
You can write to your councillor via WriteToThem, or to make it even easier, we’ve made a form! Just enter your postcode below to see who your councillor is, and get a personalised link to email them.
