Bennion Pools launch in Leicester

The Community Spaces team turned up to join The Friends of Bennion Pools at their launch event this Saturday. The project transformed the former sewer farm into a natural wildlife haven.

Special thanks go to the Community Support Officers – Carol, Anna and Mike for their help and support, and also to Dr Paul Archer from the Heatherbrook Surgery for continually supporting the group.

Pictured with Chairman of the group, John Greasley, is Groundwork UK Grants Officer, Thomas Skidmore, who said: “This project is a great example of how a site can be completely transformed with Community Spaces funding and strong community involvement.

“The Pools look fantastic and there are lots of different elements that inspire you to walk around. The group also has several plans for future development which are very encouraging.”

Well done to everyone involved!
