Still no re-opening date for Inveruie's Community Campus swimming pool

Residents of Inverurie and the surrounding area including dozens of youngsters with swimming lessons still have no confirmed date for when the community pool will be back in action.

Back in November, Live Life Aberdeenshire announced a three week closure to deal with issues noted at the pool regarding the tiles.

But with that time period now having come and gone, locals have questioned what is holding up the pools reopening and why it has taken so long.

A Live Life Aberdeenshire spokesperson said: “The contractor is finalising their investigations into the cause of the tiling failure at the Inverurie Community Campus swimming pool along with their proposals and timescales for the necessary repair works.

"We understand the frustration caused by the loss of the swimming pool since its closure on November 27 last year, however our over-riding priority since has been to ensure confidence that the cause was understood and that the repairs are comprehensive.

"It is anticipated, purely as a precautionary measure, that both the trainer pool and the warm water pool will also be drained and the tiling tested.

"This will be programmed to minimise any further disruption to services.”
