Closure of Telford swimming pool extended for extra repairs

The pool will be closed for a further 10 days

A swimming pool that is currently under maintenance in Telford will not reopen this week as planned after it was discovered more repairs were necessary.

The swimming pool at Abraham Darby Sports Centre has been closed for essential maintenance to the water circulation system since the start of September.

It was originally hoped the pool would reopen on Friday, September 18, but Telford & Wrekin Council have now revealed that the reopening has been pushed back to Monday, September 28.

A spokesperson for the council said: “During planned maintenance works, additional repairs were identified that need to be completed before the pool can safely reopen.

“We understand this news may be disappointing and apologise for any inconvenience. These essential works are necessary to ensure the facility remains safe and fully operational for everyone.

“Thank you for your patience and continued support.”
