So much to enjoy across our brilliant district! 💙 Lovely to see the lido featured—there’s still time for September swims, with the pool open until 30 September. 🏊♀️ And thank you for crediting our SOLS mural! A lovely celebration of the community spirit that helped bring our pool back to life. 🎨💦🏊♀️
