GRIMSBY Leisure Centre's swimming pool reopened yesterday after being closed for more than a week, following repairs to a burst water pipe.
Specialist contractors had been working to resolve the problem, which was isolated to equipment which serves the pool and also the ice rink, which opened again last week. The pool had been closed since May 2.
Sue Wells, assistant director for culture, leisure and sport at North East Lincolnshire Council, apologised for any inconvenience caused by the closure.
She said: "Unfortunately incidents such as this are difficult to predict and in many cases are a result of the age of the building and the system's equipment.''
