During her visit to Saltdean, **Rebecca Crook** of the Saltdean Lido Community Interest Company and Simon Kirby will be giving the Minister a tour of the Lido, as well as discussing the plans for its redevelopment. Simon has been a strong supporter of the Saltdean Lido CIC, and the visit tomorrow will be a further push on the road to its re-opening.

**Speaking ahead of the visit, Simon, said:** *“I am delighted to be showing Penny around the Lido. We all want to see the Lido reopened as soon as possible to become a vibrant hub of the community once more.*

*“This visit will be the perfect opportunity to raise the profile of the Saltdean Lido, and to tell Penny about the CIC’s exciting plans for the future. Whilst she is here, I will also be using the opportunity to raise a number of other issues of importance to my constituents in Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven.”*
