Fingers crossed for the summer.
Shropshire Council has confirmed that 'works are progressing' to reopen the main pool at the The Quarry Swimming and Fitness Centre.
Shropshire Council has said that the £400,000 repair project is"well under way", with work progressing to strip out damaged and eroded pipes and ducting from the airflow management system from the roof space over the pool, as well as unused light fittings, walkways and ceiling panels. Robert Macey, Shropshire Council’s cabinet member for culture and digital, said: “We appreciate it has been a long time for The Quarry pool to have been closed, but it has been a complicated process to find the right contractors for such a specialist programme of work.
“We recognise there has been disappointment surrounding the closure of the main pool, and we would like to thank everyone affected for their patience. Customer and staff safety are our priority, and developing a successful programme has been at the centre of all our decisions.
