AFTER 15 months Hereford swimming pool is re-opening.

Hereford Leisure Pool has confirmed that it will be reopening on the week commencing May 17 - but says it will confirm the exact day nearer the time.

Hereford Leisure Pool was forced to close in February 2020 when flooding caused major damage at the centre in St Martin's Avenue.

The work at the site has included an electrical upgrade, fire alarm replacement, lighting and work to the plant room, lightning protection, anti-climb measures for the roof, roof mounted pipework and concrete repairs.
