Thanks for your time, it seems like I won't be joining them then, they already been there for a week and prolly knew about the change months before, if nothing has been done so far it seems like Fusion management just changed name to something else and keeps running the same gym, well done Council.

Been to lane-swim twice since the handover.


First time pool was in a bit of a state, rubbish and a household fliptop bin poolside. I was greeted with what felt like a warning that even as a non-member I would not be able to use the facilities in the future without a card (eg: surrender your details).


Second time, what I was told was an 8" wide 'safety zone' ("cos there's only one pool attendant")had been cordoned off on the edge of fast lane, making it significantly smaller than the medium lane, which in turn was probably 50% smaller than the vast ocean of a slow lane. With barely anyone in it. Greeted again with an exhortation to fill out commercial paperwork or risk exclusion from a local authority facility. Nice to see they've taken the time to jazz-up the wall of the pool with an ad for the merchandise in reception/shop, though.


Ha, and indeed, rumph.

My feelings a few weeks in - staff the same (helpful but limited), timetable (little or no difference), reception full of merchandising and unhealthy snacks/food, general upkeep is terrible (non functioning toilets, cold water in showers and/or pool, a/c not working in the class rooms upstairs). When I get some time/energy I'm going to ask for some money back for Jun-Jul!

    • I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.
    • Wanted near Bellenden Road: firewood. If you have any spare or unwanted firewood (e.g. left by previous owners), please let me know. Thanks!
    • I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season. 
    • There are a lot of car parking spaces - in order for them to all be filled, it would suggest a local event rather than unrelated shoppers. Does the surgery have records of when the it's full? presume there is some sort of management of it. Perhaps there is a correlation to local activity or a pattern.
