I was in Peterborough the other day when I heard this strange sound, a sound I remember from my youth - the sound of children having a good time in their local lido!

When is the group of self-opinionated people who call themselves a council going to get off their thrones and see what goes on around them? Talk to anyone in the country and if they've heard of Droitwich Spa, the first thing they mention is the lido.

Or is the lido going to be just another page in that well-known book of Droitwich in the olden days, with the epitaph reading 'Demolished in 200?'
