Baths revamp on hold

PLANNED refurbishment of Royton swimming pool has been postponed.

The pool, in Park Street, was set to be redeveloped in the autumn as part of the new Royton Wellbeing Centre, but work has been delayed due to the current economic climate.

Councillor John McCann, Cabinet member for community services and housing, said: “Royton Pool recently celebrated its 100th birthday and is still a popular facility.

“Regeneration of the pool is part of a wide-ranging review the council is carrying out of its whole leisure estate with interested parties and stakeholders.”
