Summary
Twenty MPs are rallying to bring back Britain’s beloved lidos, teaming up with the Fabian Society to push for a new water bill that would make water companies fund or restore public outdoor pools. These historic pools, once open to all—not just the wealthy—are seeing a revival as outdoor swimming surges, with visits up 30% last summer. Communities like Tooting Bec, Hillsea, and Peterborough have fought to save their lidos, proving their value for health, recreation, and local pride. With hotter summers ahead, this push is gaining steam—MPs are already acting locally to ensure everyone can cool off in a public pool.
