The Corporation launched the consultation in October proposing six potential ways of operating the ponds. These included retaining the status quo, running the men's and women's ponds as “strictly single-sex facilities”, or operating them as trans-inclusive spaces other than the communal toilets and changing rooms. The findings will now be presented to relevant City Corporation committees which will consider them alongside legal duties, equality impact assessments, safeguarding responsibilities and operational considerations. In the meantime, the current admission rules will remain in place until a final decision on future access has been made by the relevant City Corporation committees. Sex Matters, a charity advocating for single-sex rights, had argued that the City of London Corporation, which manages the Heath, was breaching equality law by permitting trans women to swim there and use the women's changing area.
