HAGGERSTON POOL
DEVELOPMENT
Financial
Services Company UBS who are sponsoring the new city academy on the site of
Laburnum primary school, (which is in the street behind Haggerston
Pool) have decided not to
include Haggerston Pool in their development. They have also decided
not to take the land from Tannery Arts for the school, but to fit the
whole new secondary school on the site of the old primary
school.

for his land to become part of the new school (see above). He said

to the refurbishment of Haggerston Pool.

repeated his offer saying he is still keen to
support a project to re-open Haggerston Pool.
