Week 18

This week show that start of works on the new pool hall ceiling and the reconfiguration of the dryside changing area.

Firstly we start with the pool hall; the entrance was boarded up and scaffolding and boarding put up:

Next they began works on the dryside, stripping out and planning for demolition in the main hall corridor, old gym and changing areas:

Works also began on the overhaul of the pool plant room. Whilst the pool was shut, it was decided that it would be an ideal time for the sand in the filters to be replaced. We are also having 2 of the circulation pumps replaced. We had to remove sand from the filters which made quite a mess in the plant room!

Works have also continued in the spa extension. Spa pool pipe work and surrounds have gone in:

The changing rooms on the first floor of the spa extension are also coming along nicely with walls popping up left, right and centre and a new staircase and balcony almost complete:

That concludes this week's update. Things coming up over the next week include:

• Start on the removal of the old pool hall ceiling
• Demolition of walls in the dryside area
• Continued works in the new gym area
