D-DAY is looming for Droit-wich's Lido as members of campaign group SALT prepare to make their final bid to save the historic pool from demolition.

SALT - Save a Lido Today - will present its business plan to members of Wychavon District Council's executive board during a private meeting tomorrow.

The council will then discuss the plans and decide if SALT's proposals are viable and whether the Lido can be restored to its former glory.

The plans will then go to the council's overview and scrutiny committee at a meeting in the town's community hall in Heritage Way, on December 15, which will be open to the public.

SALT has been campaigning to save the Lido since its closure in 2001. Residents were outraged that the council was considering demolishing it and redeveloping the site, and so set up the group to save the Lido from the clutches of developers.

In May, this year, SALT was given six months to come up with a viable business plan. That deadline was then extended to tomorrow's date.

The contents of the business plan are a closely-guarded secret and, when contacted by the Evening News this week about tomorrow's meeting, SALT chairman, Linda Watkins, said she was unable to discuss the contents of the plan.

"I'm afraid we are bound to confidentiality at the moment so I cannot make any comments about our proposals or our hopes at this stage," she said.

However, speaking to the Evening News back in September, when the original date for the presentation expired, Mrs Watkins said: "We are confident that we can convince the council and are hopeful of success."

The Mayor of Droitwich, Ann Taft, and her deputy Richard Morris, have praised SALT for its dedication.

"We would like to wish them all the very best with their recommendation and commend them on all their hard work and efforts for the town and visitors," they said.
