Spring is upon us and we're pleased to say we're now taking the
final few big steps before that wonderful day when we can throw open our doors
to the public.
Here's the latest on where
we are...
Pontoon – The
pontoon is a key element of our vision for the pools and will serve two
important functions. Firstly, it will allow visitors to access the site from
the river, and secondly, the river pump to heat the pools will sit underneath
it. The contract to build the pontoon has been signed and building work has now
started. It is due to be delivered in the coming months and then will be
fitted.
Management
Transfer - Cleveland Pools Trust is in the legal process of
transferring management of the Pools to the operator Fusion Lifestyle and that
should be completed shortly.
Flooding -
Heavy rain during the winter resulted in many areas being flooded and
unfortunately this included Cleveland Pools. Whilst this sounds dramatic,
the site was designed knowing the area is prone to flooding from time to
time. Once the water subsided, the pools were drained, cleaned and
everything is working again as normal. A big thank you to Fusion Lifestyle
and to all the volunteers who helped clean up.
