THE POOL at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre will reopen today following "thorough" tests on new flooring.
A brand new tiled floor now surrounds the pool, which closed on June 15 to allow controversial anti-slip flooring to be replaced.
It reopened in February following a five-month refurbishment before closing on March 2 following a "number of incidents" related to the "slippery floor".
Work was carried out on the floor and the pool was reopened on April 8, before it closed again following fresh complaints.
The pool is open to the public all day tomorrow, from 7am until 9pm.
Councillor Mick Burnett, portfolio holder for leisure, said: "We fully empathise with our swimming customers who have experienced many months of disruption with very little access following the reopening of the pool in February.
"We have a great facility and we want to ensure that all fixtures are of the highest standard. This resulted in a decision to replace the flooring material surrounding the pool, laid during its refurbishment. We are very happy with the new tiled flooring which is much more suitable for the leisure pool and our users.
"We are confident that our customers will also be satisfied with the further improvements and eagerly welcome them back to once again enjoy our swimming facilities at the leisure centre."
NELC said a thorough, independent test had been carried out on the flooring to ensure it conforms to industry standards.
Nick Booth, from Cofely, said: "Cofely recognise the importance of all public facilities and will continue to work in partnership with NELC to ensure that the provision of these services support the needs of all, giving both residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy and benefit from these great facilities."
