The Long Street indoor swimming pools reopened last Wednesday, May 15, following maintenance work and renovations.

The facility had been undergoing upgrades since February.

Ward councillor Ian MacMohan said there had been repairs to the roof and electrical compliance upgrades, along with interior touch-ups like the painting of the foyer ceiling and external façade, repairs to the cash office and other minor work.

The bathrooms had also received a facelift, with tiles and showers being replaced.

Ward councillor Ian MacMohan points out some structural damage, such as the wall crumbling.

According to Mr MacMohan, there were still some other areas that needed attention, such as crumbling walls and the seating area.

“We had to do this now and reopen now because during winter, all the outdoor pools are closed and more people come here.”

Measures have been put in place to minimise disruption to pool users, with the contractor committed to completing outstanding work outside of operating hours.

Visitors will be informed of any ongoing installations to ensure their safety and convenience.

The staircase in the reception area has been redone
