I AM writing about Clarence Park lido in Bury.

My friends and I recently went up there to skateboard, only to be disgusted at the state of it. There was rubbish and algae in it, and a lot of dead fish.

If no one can be bothered to clean it, they might as well concrete over it and build something else, possibly a skate park!

If not, then at least clean it now and again. When my parents were my age they said the Lido was so clean that you could swim in it. It is becoming a hazard.
