Protesters descended on Ebley Mill on Thursday evening to oppose the impending closure of Stratford Park Lido.

A large crowd gathered outside the headquarters of Stroud District Council, many waving placards to voice their opposition to the decision to shut the popular pool, which has been a fixture of the community since 1937.

The facility will not open this summer and could remain closed indefinitely, the council has warned, citing an estimated £5 million needed for essential refurbishment work.

Campaigners say the move would mark the loss of a much-loved public amenity, with calls growing for the council to reconsider.
