Wirral Borough Council need to take a look at this video and see what they ruined. Just take a look at the thousands of people there. Now its just thousands of lamposts and signs aggggghhhhhhh they sure know how to ruin a good thing do our council. Of course they will blame it on the storms and say it HAD to come down ready for a giant supermarket to built in a few years

New Brightons pool loss was WBC's most shameful act of short sighted descration. It ripped the last of New Brightons soul out and paved the way for a town full of narrow minded NIMBY'S that still inhabit the place tody. Mind if you take off the rose tinted specs for a while...the pool was a bit minty towards the end wasnt it???!!! anybody any memories of New Ferry baths??? another Council shame..

I wonder how many remember the "New Brighton Rocks" pop concerts at the pool in the 80s. Was shown on Granada TV. Some top bands and artists of the tim like Gloria Gaynor, Spandau Ballet, Nik Kershaw, Madness and Frankie Goes to Hollywood were on if I remember rightly.

Lovely to see. Wish they'd repaired it instead of pulling it down. Who needs ANOTHER supermarket??

@holderrob to call everyone from New Brighton narrow minded, makes me think that you must live there yourself.... your an idiot, that had a valid point until you said that..
