A FORMAL planning application for Grimsby's new £8.4million swimming pool has been submitted.
The new pool will be built next to Grimsby Leisure Centre on Cromwell Road and will replace Scartho Baths.
A campaign was launched to save the 50-year-old Scartho Road pool, but the decision to close it was made by the council in December.
A number of changes have been made to the plans following a public consultation in March.
They include the introduction of a standing spectator area, an increase in the size of the first floor exercise studio and a raising of the floor level to alleviate concerns about flooding.
