The Friends of Victoria Baths, winners of the £3.5 million BBC Restoration, are linking up with other swimming pool campaigns around the country. A group of Friends visited Moseley Road Baths in Birmingham recently and two Friends went to Bristol North Baths as well, making a picture in the local paper. Both these pools are valued local facilities but threatened with closure. Whilst the Government ponders on why its Health Promotion strategy isn't working local activists have one clear answer: "Give people in poor areas the opportunities that rich people take for granted - the ability to swim regularly, because this is the most popular form of exercise."
