Great to meet you at HoP yesterday, Jess. Thanks for dropping in and we’ll speak again soon about all the support you offered for @future_lidos.
It was really great to meet with @future_lidos today alongside Shaun from our very own @BecclesLido!. Lidos have such an important role to play in our health and happiness, as well as supporting local jobs and training the next generation of professional swimmers!

Motherdom is the latest book to lay bare the shaky science pressuring parents to perfectly steer their children's development from birth. It's a welcome reality check, finds Penny Sarchet

Thank you for fighting to save this. And of course it’s possible to relocate.
Five years after first taking on the case, C20 is still fighting to save the glorious 1960s Kenneth Barden ceramic murals at Halifax Pool. Calderdale Council believe it isn’t possible to relocate them and wish to demolish, we respectfully disagree and hope to find a solution.
