St George's 4.5k registered #hydrotherapy users were told by #Peterborough City Council that the pool could not be sold at a profit for continued community use. So Instead it now lies decayed with no alternative facilities for residents. #Disgraceful

'Distress' as former Peterborough hydro pool site still stands 'decaying' five years after it was closed
Campaigners have spoken of their ‘distress’ and ‘frustration’ by the sight of the city’s former hydrotherapy pool lying ‘neglected and decaying’ five years after it was shut.

DR UK Campaigner Mikey Erhardt spoke with Sky News about the Government's chaos and mismanagement, juggling Disabled people's lives.

How on earth can they ever expect us to trust them moving forward after this calamity?

Huge credit to Michael who has received a response from DWP his FOI request.

The figures show that 87% of PIP claimants on the standard rate for daily living and 13% of those on the enhanced rate for daily living will potentially lose their benefit.

It's now March and still the enquiries from people desperate to access #hydrotherapy keep coming. 💔

It's a rehabilitative service that can enable people to remain or return to work.

Action to restore the service has never been more relevant. #DisabilityBenefit #Peterborough
It's only 4th January and yet our website is already receiving enquiries from people anxious to gain access to a #hydrotherapy pool to help manage their #health, #mobility and #pain.

We desperately need confirmation that #community hydrotherapy will be restored to #Peterborough in 2025.

Happy New Year!

We'd like to wish happiness and good health to you and to all #Peterborough's former and potential #hydrotherapy users.

Let's hope 2025 is a really good one for all of us.

As she wished, today we celebrate the life of one of St George's most stalwart users and supporters - June 94.

June was always at the forefront when any support, fundraising or baking was to be done. She can be seen in action (right on photos) here. She will be enormously missed.

Hello Bluesky. This is us. We are a group of service users who lost our much-loved hydrotherapy pool - St George's. We are now sharing and working to ensure community hydrotherapy (aquatic physiotherapy) is restored to all who need it in our city. #Peterborough
