Lido fuels changes
Article Abstract:
Park Road Lido, Haringey, London, England has reopened in 1992 after closure for five years. Financial constraints caused the closure, therefore economical operation was a prerequisite of reopening. About 17,000 pounds sterling was allocated for refurbishment. A new energy-saving heating system has been installed by Combined Power Systems that heats two pools at the cost of heating one.
