The future of the pool and lido are under threat. A group of committed Ilkley residents have been working on proposals to secure the long term future of the whole site and facilities.

We are expecting the BMDC review of Sports and Leisure Services to make their recommendations on the 17th July.

Join us at Ilkley Grammar School B Hall to work through our response to secure either:

(a) Bradford Council Ownership, collaborating with the community to secure sustainable income through partnerships.

(b) Community ownership of the Pool and Lido to secure the future of the facilities

We will be sending you a full briefing before the event setting out:

  1. Our view of the BMDC Review process, and suggestions for responding to the consultation.
