I remember the baths well and always got a cup of chicken soup from the vending machine after my swimming lesson to drink on the walk home.

Cricketer are you anything to do with the trust as I sent in a proposition for us to hire one of the sports halls from yourselves on a long term basis. Thus bringing you revenue when it's reopened and also offering my support and my business partners support. I have been trained in pr and social media so could have given a lot of help and I did not even receive a response. I was a little disappointed.

Hi, I have been the driving force and with respect to the other guys we would not have got so far if I had not shouldered the weight. However, it may have been me who missed something or did not follow something through due to my own work pressures and if it was I sincerely apologise. Please can you make contact directly and we can discuss via my email address [email protected]

Volunteers wanted for Saturday 21st Sep from 10am to help clear rubbish and plant growth from the grounds.

Campaigners urge council to spare Byrne Avenue Baths

PLANS for the sale of Rock Ferry's Byrne Avenue baths complex will be considered by Wirral councillors.

A report before the ruling cabinet next Thursday will recommend retaking possession of the building from Byrne Avenue Community Trust, (BACT) and putting it for sale on the market.

The trust says it is "vehemently opposed" to the move and wants cabinet members to reject the recommendation.

The group is planning to make a bid for Heritage Lottery funding that, if successful, would be used to help re-open the building in stages.

Staff and swimmers were notified of the closedown by a notice pinned to the baths' door in 2009. A community group was formed to take-over the running of the complex, but as yet it has been unable to raise enough cash to re-open it.

The trust's plan was to match £350,000 of funding pledged by the local authority towards restoring the Byrne Avenue as a community centre run by local people.

Trust member John Kelly said: "We are going to speak to the council at next week’s meeting when we will tell them we are vehemently opposed to the proposed plan.


"To sell and demolish a building in an area like this is entirely the wrong thing to do."

WE NEED YOUR STORIES
As part of our bid to get the building listed by English Heritage, one of their Advisers came out to visit at the beginning of Feb. The next stage will be an opportunity for us to give them more details of the history of the Baths. This includes social history - stories of how it was used. They are particularly interested in aspects that were not used when it closed down, so the Slipper Baths, the Small Pool, concerts, roller-skating etc.
If you have any stories or photographs, please email them to us at [email protected]. We will put some of them on the Memory Lane page of the website too.
