Showers are still cold today.  When I asked at Reception, I was told that one of the boilers was now repaired and they were just waiting for the water to warm up!  The pool was pretty cold today as well,  Still a load of grit /dirt on the bottom, seems to be getting worse.

Its crazy, they raise membership prices due to the refurb but things are worse than before.

Has it  been more  of an absolute shambles ever since the council took back management?

yes.. I think it has.

I prefered it when Everyone Active had the contract..and an additional benefit was being able to acess other EA gyms across London. Plus I think the equipment in the gym was of better quality.

I disagree, it was pretty filthy back then, plus the issues that Southwark have had were the ones left by EA.

I’m not sure the problems were caused by Everyone Active. They run perfectly good centres elsewhere, including the Queen Mum which until recently was my main pool. As far as I can remember the problems with the Dulwich pool started months after it was handed over to Southwark. But I might be wrong on that. I think there was a period when EA weren’t investing in it, pre hand back to Southwark, which is not surprising, but it was maintained to legal standards, I’m sure.

I tried to swim at Dulwich a couple of weeks back. The water is far too hot. I would say it’s bordering on dangerous.

I’m sure it’s within the tolerances etc but it is significantly warmer than JAGS (warm but still ok for session swims) which itself is way warmer than any of the other pools I swim at (Queen Mum, St Pancras, Oasis).

I do wonder if all the problems they had with filters are related to the temp of the water. Peckham Pulse and Camberwell aren’t hot  so I think it’s a manager decision to run Dulwich so hot.

Appreciate that the pool temp has nothing to do with the showers.

      Help Needed Dealing With Foxtons - Living a nightmare for the past year

      By hamlet_fan · Posted

      Hi,   I'm posting here because I am completely at a loss for how to deal with this anymore.   Is this standard for dealing with a letting agency? I'm new to living in the UK and I've been treated abhorrently by this agency from day one.  I've reached out to every organisation I can - the council, Shelter, trying to get to the property ombudsman, and the citizens advice bureau. My oven broke last night (Friday) and their solution until someone arrives (Monday) to even inspect the problem, is to buy an air fryer.    This is part of a long list of issues, including my bathtub joist that's rotted out and has broke so my bathtub is now falling into the floor, and has been that way waiting for repair for the last month. Our flat is extremely cold in the winter (due to failing the EPC) and the rising damp throughout the flat has not been addressed even though we've been reporting it consistently for the past year. All they do is send someone to install a dehumidifier for a week. Every time I need assistance from these people I have to wait on hold each step of the way, my property manager is out of office or they're on another line or I can't speak to them, if I begin an issue with one person at the organisation I get redirected to a new person (and that initial person is now unavailable), or they wait a week to call me back. It is truly unbelievable the amount of stuff I've had to live with under Foxtons. They wouldn't allow me to move into our property on the first day stated in the lease I signed (after I paid depot and first month) because they didn't do the work to make the property pass the EPC which they had multiple weeks to address. During those multiple weeks I would call them everyday asking for status updates. When the move in day arrived all they could say to me was 'we can't help you'. They didn't even do any work to resolve it in the long run, they just got a new inspector to give the flat a pass. This company has made my life hell for the past year and unfortunately I am stuck in the lease for now due to their shady letting agent practices.   If anyone can please provide me some tangible assistance that would be greatly appreciated. Reaching out to any of these agencies has not brought me any closer to a resolution and my partner and I are beyond our wits end dealing with property issues. I thought a letting agency was held to a higher standard than a private landlord and was supposed to make life easier for a tenant but it appears to be exactly the opposite.   I've attached some mold images so you can see what my flat looks like if I don't run a dehumidifier 24/7.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      This is the right sort of response from the BBC (Friday night comedy).  Well done.  Please listen before commenting. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0mfx7h4
