11 March 2024 - Flooding Statement with Fusion

Paul Simons – Chair of Cleveland Pools Trust

“The site of the Cleveland Pools has flooded twice since the New Year following exceptional rainfall.
The flooding issue was fully investigated and taken into consideration when designing the scheme prior to the commencement of works on site. The project was completed in September 2022 and when the site flooded in the spring of 2023 flood waters were contained and managed as anticipated.
In January ‘24 the flooding found its way into the plant room and has caused significant damage to the installations leaving the pools currently inoperable. The plant room was designed and built to be completely flood proof.
The Cleveland Pools Trust is now in the process of establishing the reasons for this failure of performance and is determined to find the quickest way possible to bring the pools back into use.
At the present time it is not possible to establish a timescale for the re-opening of the Cleveland Pools. After the enormous efforts of so many to achieve the re-opening of the pools the Trust regrets this disruption to those wishing to use and enjoy the facilities.”

Rob Taylor, Fusion’s Regional Manager.
“Fusion shares the disappointment and frustrations of the Trust around the continuing delays and are working closely with the Trust to get the Pools open as soon as possible.”
