A SWIMMING baths has been closed until further notice because of health and safety concerns.
Lewisham Council leisure bosses closed Forest Hill Pools, Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill, on Monday after getting advice from surveyors.
The decision was taken after an inspection last month revealed structural damage to the roof.
The council says a detailed examination of the building will now be made to assess the damage.
A spokesman said: "It is not possible at this stage to say when the pools will reopen but it remains our policy to maintain swimming at this site."
The facility is due to undergo a £4m refurbishment from next year and the council says the current closure should not affect the long-term plans.
