New Brighton A community group in New Brighton is furious with Wirral Council over money the authority has put towards plans for a new lido. Last March, the authority gave £80,000 to Our Lido Ltd as a contribution towards feasibility studies for an outdoor swimming pool in the town. In a document published last October, Wirral Council said the company wanted to develop a new lido combined with health, wellbeing and community facilities, which could be located in New Brighton, although there was no guarantee as to its eventual location. New Brighton did have an open-air swimming pool from June 13, 1934, when it was opened by Viscount Leverhulme, until 1990 when it was damaged beyond repair by a storm.
