No complaints coming from the wildlife of Hackney!

Quick, get out of the pool, it’s raining , you might get wet. Hmm, there is an awful lot of head shaking going on at the outdoor baths at London Fields Lido. New health and safety rules require swimmers to get out of the water when it is raining . Yep, that’s right the Hackney Council is not allowing any swimmers in the outdoor pool to stay in the water when the heavens open. The reasoning? Rain makes the water cloudy and thus makes it difficult for lifeguards to see the bottom. All hail Hackney Council.Conservative MP Patrick Mercer said “There’s no common sense and this is just a continuation of the growing nanny state that prevents people from doing more and more things.”
