Cleveland Pools update – 03/03/25

The Cleveland Pools trustees regret the prolonged closure of the pools following the flooding in January 2024. The Trust is most grateful for the continuing support of the public and in particular the loyal volunteers who continue to support the project in whatever ways they can.

In the period since the flood, extensive investigations have been conducted into the flooding incident, which caused serious damage to the pools’ operating plant and machinery in its plantroom. There has also been some damage to the surrounding areas of the main pool and the focus of the ongoing technical investigations is on the nature and extent of damage to the pool structure itself and connecting pipework.

The Trust, with the assistance of its professional advisers, is looking at all its available options for recovering the cost of remedying the damage to allow the pools to reopen. Unfortunately, at this present time, the Trust is unable to put a timescale on this.

The Trust shares the frustration of the public that the pools remain closed, but wishes to reassure them as a registered charity run and managed by volunteers, it continues to use its best endeavours to find a solution to allow the pools to be brought back into use as soon as is practically and viably possible.
