Episode 88: Eastville Park Lido: ‘Catastrophic eyesore’ or much-needed community facility?
Fresh plans have been submitted for an open air swimming pool and cafe in Eastville Park.

In this week’s podcast, reporter Betty Woolerton heard from two passionate groups campaigning both for and against the lido proposals.
