ST Neots swimming pool is set to re-open on Monday (April 21) after a major facelift.

The leisure centre pool next to St Neots Community College in Eynesbury has been closed since late last summer to allow for a £500,000 refurbishment.

Improvements to the swimming pool include a new pool roof, reception and lobby area, changing rooms, showers, toilets and lockers.

The work was needed after a survey of the pool hall roof found that it would be sensible to consider replacing it to ensure further leaks did not develop.

The work was funded by Huntingdonshire District Council and Cambridgeshire County Council.

Councillor Doug Dew, portfolio holder for leisure centres on HDC, said: "Our investment in St Neots pool reflects our continuing support for the leisure centres in the district.

"This is one of a number of major projects aimed at improving the quality of our facilities and encouraging increased numbers of happy and healthy customers of all ages.
