Brockwell Lido is closing in on a national prize for its importance to its local community.

The Art Deco outdoor pool has reached the semi final in the heritage category of the National Lottery Awards.

The nomination was based on the lido’s reinvention and regeneration as a community hub five years ago through National Lottery funds, and local support.

Now residents are being asked to vote the project into the televised final, where it could scoop a £2,000 prize.
