For two months now, work has been progressing on the £1.3m rebuild of the Abbey Meadows Open Air Pool and changing area.

Currently the surrounds are looking very muddy, but the end result will be a pool that should last us for another sixty years (the current pool was dug in the 1950s). The revamped pool will have a beach area, a safer surface, and be heated more efficiently (the pool was first heated in the 1970s).
