Ruislip Lido Residents Group have been in correspondence with LBH for many months over these issues. We have quoted Hillingdon Council in full on this site, regardless of whether we agreed with their comments. Please find below a message from Friends of Ruislip Lido regarding their position on the water levels.

I would like to clarify the Friends position on the water level at the Lido. It has come to my attention that Hillingdon Council have claimed that we asked for the water level to be raised and that we had an input into what the level should be. This is totally incorrect. The Friends of Ruislip Lido have asked that the water level be properly managed and that the water is not just allowed to be let out without some monitoring.

We have especially requested that during certain times of the year it is maintained at a constant level; this being frog and toad spawning and the nesting season. However what that level is, is a matter for the engineers not us. We just want them to manage it properly during the Winter negating the need to drain it during the Spring unless of course necessary due to unforeseen weather conditions. 

We have challenged the remarks made by the council at the Management Advisory Group.
