hereThe authority has no plans to reopen the pool, but that has not stopped many who live in the suburb from hoping that it could one day return.Now a discussion on the M.E.N's In Your Area forum, asking what one thing readers would change about their area, has prompted the launch of a new petition calling for the baths to reopen.

It has since been signed by more than 200 people in a week.The petition reads: "Since 2005, Reddish Baths has been closed to the public, and to say this is a tragedy is an understatement."The swimming baths brought the community together, allowed young children the opportunity to learn a vital skill without travelling far, and provided healthy entertainment to all.
