Leisure centre pools re-open after repairs

A public swimming pool has re-opened following a repair project.

Burntwood Leisure Centre near Lichfield had to close its main and learner pools on 9 February due to a failure of the pool pumps and pipework.

The learner pool was reopened last week, followed by the main one on Tuesday.

"We look forward to welcoming swimmers back", a spokesperson from Lichfield District Council said.

Lichfield District Council has also confirmed that scheduled swimming sessions and lessons would restart.

It added: "We'd like to thank users of the Burntwood Leisure Centre for their understanding and patience while the repairs were carried out."
