Craig Needles Podcast Episode 78: Thames Pool closed, neighbourhood left with questions

People living in Old South, Wortley Village and the downtown core are left with questions as a neighbourhood staple will be shutdown for all of 2022.

The City of London announced on Tuesday that Thames Pool won't open at all this summer - citing "structural issues" as the reason.

However, Craig believes that announcement lacked detail and transparency. He explains, and then talked to Jon Paul McGonigle, the Division Manager for Culture, Special Events & Sport Services with the city, who discussed why the pool is closed and what will happen next.
