FORDTON swimming pool remains closed - over a week after users were told it was likely to reopen.

The borough council was forced to close it to the public on July 26 for emergency repair work after ceiling tiles fell into the pool.

It was initially expected to reopen the following Monday but now the council expects it to be at least another few days and pool users are yet to be given a firm date for reopening.

Fordton Leisure Centre is used by some of Warrington's finest young swimmers who compete at national level as well as thousands of recreational swimmers.
