Cheshire East Council is expected to press ahead with plans which would see the former Flag Lane Baths bulldozed to make way for an alternative provision school.
The initial proposal by the Always Ahead charity to transform the Crewe building into a community hub was abandoned earlier this year.
Dear Editor,
Sadly, Labour-run Cheshire East Council have NOT said they will preserve the Art Deco front of the building.
Flag Lane Baths is a rare example in the UK of an Art Deco swimming pool but Cheshire East have only said they will ‘press’ for the façade of the former baths to be kept as part of any development.
Nantwich’s outdoor brine pool has been crowned one of UK’s best hidden gems in a study.
As the hot weather saw many flocking to outdoor swimming facilities, a study looked at social media and the number of times facilities around the country were hash-tagged.
Nantwich residents are being urged to lodge their views as part of the Cheshire East Local Plan consultation, which highlights areas of the town centre that could be developed in future.
The consultation follows the adoption of the Local Plan Strategy in 2017.
A man has been arrested after a broad daylight street brawl in Nantwich town centre, police confirm.
The incident happened on Waterlode, close to the swimming baths and Harrisons bar at the junction with Welsh Row and High Street.
Roads around Flag Lane in Crewe have re-opened after police talked a man down from the roof of the former swimming baths.
A 24-year-old man was in a stand-off with police for almost seven hours as he stayed on the roof between 7am and 2pm.
