Late this afternoon I was told that the terrible snow and cold, wet weather has delayed works. That the contractors have allocated as many people as they can have safely working together to catch up with the weather delays.


At the worst point a 12 week delay looked possible which is what the receptionist appears to have told people. But that with the extra resources allocated for catching up it should be much less than that.


I've asked for a firmer date asap.

Hi EDmummy,

I've requested a further update on where things are and when the pool will reopen.

I passed it this morning and the new entrance is definately progressing. It will never happen quickly enought for me.

As soon as I hear something I'll let you know.

Fully refurbished pool. Slightly reduced length from previous 27.5m to 25m allowing the corner that you could'nt walk around to actually walkaround. No more changing cublices beside the pool so more space around the pool. Viewing area. Proper changing rooms Cafe. Insulated roof and other walls etc. Lots energy efficient feasures. New plant. New dance studios. THEN the gym gets refurbished.

Does any of that include a soft play area or any facilities for toddlers?

By new plant you mean new engineering equipment etc as opposed to a new yucca or something? :-)

...and I was told by someone in reception last week that the pool would open sometime in July (this year). Doesn't seem like anyone there really knows for sure.

New plant - I meant new water cleaning, electric etc machinery.

But the new and old entrances I believe will have new planting.

Soft play not in the plans. Very little feedback in the public consultation for this. I did ask for this in the consultation. At the time my kids were 3 & 4. But little support so I'm afraid still a trek down to the Peckham Pulse for soft play (Peckham Pulse soft play ok young kids party venue as well if you're organised).

    • The market held annually at Christ Church Barry Road, was not held last year. Traders had stated that footfall ha fallen considerably, and was not profitable. Whilst a couple of stalls had goods at a reasonable price (socks) the others were very expensive. Not many people were willing to pay £25-£30 for a mug. If my memory serves me correctly - the craft market initially started off in the Village, but did not attract enough footfall and was not on a public transport route - hence the move to Christ Church. I used to go regularly to NXR market but the prices got so ridiculous on the majority of stalls ( a filled baguette which originally cost  around £4 - went up to £9). having grown up in ED - I remember the original NXR market - with fruit and veg stalls, haberdashery, etc which were there 2/3 times a week. My idea of an indoor market is those seen in provincial towns - Preston, Derby, Chichester (which also has street market)
