This Zine is a collection of quotes from

the local community about the Tropicana

outdoor swimming pool. The Tropicana

was built in 1937 and included an art deco

diving board. At the time it had the highest

diving board and was the largest open-air

swimming pool in Europe. It has not been

occupied since 2000.

In February 2013 the council granted

planning permission to a consortium of local

businesses: Trop Ltd. They intend to build a

new swimming pool complex on the site.

As the land owner the council has not yet

given Trop Ltd permission.

If you wish to give Trop Ltd your support
