"Master Plans" openly accessible on Merton Borough Council's website outline potentially exciting plans to improve use of the Lake and the Park.  But they are 10 - 15 years out in realisation and lack funding.  With the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) plans to develop new facilities on their side of the Lake and with the 2022 deadline of the Reservoirs Act improvement recommendations due to be conducted surely the timing to consider how open water swimming in the Lake can be supported has never been better.  Wandsworth and Merton schools are drastically underserved with publicly accessible swimming baths and making lake swimming a reality will also compliment and enhance the existing Athletics Facilities. With your support now and with appropriate planning we can make this concept a reality.  Lend us your voice and sign the petition to have London Borough of Merton explore this further!
