Labour MPs call on water firms to save Britain’s lost lidos

Labour MPs, along with the Fabian Society, are rallying to revive Britain's forgotten outdoor swimming pools, or lidos, which could offer cooling relief during heatwaves. These MPs represent areas with derelict or at-risk pools and are urging water companies to fund their reopening to make this refreshing option accessible to everyone. This campaign highlights the potential of lidos to provide affordable and inclusive leisure activities, especially in light of recent extreme temperatures. The push underscores a broader movement to preserve and promote community spaces that benefit public health and wellbeing.
