The historic Levenshulme swimming baths were saved from closure by a public campaign in 2011 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-12600450 BBC News). However, a newly-built Joint Service Centre incorporating a pool, gym and library has now been proposed for the area and so the future of the 1930s building which is not listed, unlike the Carnegie library opposite, seems uncertain (http://menmedia.co.uk/southmanchesterreporter/news/s/1508732_dont-give-up-on-levenshulme-baths-plea- MEN South Manchester Reporter).
