Kings Hall is ok now- but could still do with some work on the changing rooms- but try the Lido at London fields- the only place in Hackney that is better than when it was a squat. only problem is it is closed after dark.
But the council can't claim the credit for this. if it had not been for the work of the local users group backed by the outrage over the closure of Haggerston Pool- and the shame over Clissold disaster just as the Olympic bid drew near we would probably be looking at some park side loft living development.
I am a bit surprised that anyone tries to make out that Hackney are anything other than corrupt and incompetent. I mean surprised on these boards - as all of us in Hackney get a valuable news sheet through our doors confirming in writing just how fantastic Mr Pipe is. I don't know about bent ballots but the council pretty much put their hands up for wrongdoing over Broadway Market and did admit it over the dalston theatre- check out http://opendalston.blogspot.com/ for a much more balanced view than mine.
If they had failed to have had their hands in the till over Clissold Baths than - with the amount of our money that was pissed away- they are not even competent at corruption.and if they are not corrupt than what do they think they are playing at.
i don't know why anyone still votes Labour here- presumably because we still hate the tories. but don't take it as an endorsement.
