Discounted prices for Reading residents if lido plan get green light

Lido plan for King's Meadow baths offers heated pool, spa, restaurant and bar

The team behind the Grade II-listed Bristol Lido were selected as preferred bidders to take over the dilapidated building in September 2013 and they set up a new company called Thames Lido Ltd for the project.

Listed Building Consent has been granted for repairs to the run down Grade II-listed baths which will be carried out before major construction works are carried out.

The application is for the full length of the north side of the pool, facing the River Thames, to be enclosed to form a single-storey restaurant.

Full height glazing will run around the pool with a steam room, sauna and lounge on the eastern side.

The west side will connect with the entrance and reception, through the bar and into the restaurant.
