Concerns are growing that the closure of Stratford Park Lido in Gloucestershire could lead to increased dangers, with residents potentially turning to hazardous wild swimming spots in local lakes. Stroud District Council has indicated that the beloved open-air swimming pool, which attracted around 30,000 visitors in the 2025 season, faces closure this year due to urgent safety concerns demanding a £5 million refurbishment. Problems such as cracks at the base of the diving board, numerous trip and fall hazards, and deterioration of the pool surface have rendered the site unsafe for use.
