Today Saltdean Lido is taking part in an ITV/Big Lottery competition to win £50,000.

If successful, we would be able to refurbish the paddling pool at the lido which has been filled with pebbles for more than 17 years.

All we need to win is to get the most telephone votes. If readers would like to support us then please visit www.saltdeanlido.co.uk or watch ITV Meridian West news at 6pm on Monday to get the telephone number which isn't available until 9am on the day.

We really hope local people will help us win so we can get the paddling pool open for next summer.
