1989 Repair
In 1989 work was completed which
involved the repair of the deepend expansion joint and the removal
of the top screed of pool flooring.
By the early 1990’s the Lido was under considerable threat again.
Cheltenham Borough Council had carried out a feasibility study of
the complex including a radar survey of both pools. The radar survey
confirmed that both pools were on unstable ground and the repairs
had failed. Structurally they gave the main pool a life expectancy
of only ten years.
The report suggested that the complex would require a minimum of
£250,000 for essential maintenance. By 1994 the future was very
uncertain for Sandford Parks Lido. It was time to call in the
supporters once again, only this time a new way forward had to be
found to prevent certain closure.
