New pool planned for Cumbrian town
Designers have been appointed for a new swimming pool project in Millom, Cumbria.
Cambridge-based architects Saunders Boston have been awarded the contract for the facility, which will replace the town’s current pool at a local school.
The project is the brainchild of the Millom and Haverigg Economic Development Group.
Acting chair, Roland Woodward, was quoted by the North West Evening Mail, as saying: “This is the first major step forward for some time in the campaign to make a good quality pool in the Millom area.
“The Millom Swimming Pool Partnership intends to have an in-depth consultation and the details of this will be announced at a later date.”
The Northwest Regional Development has already donated £75,000 towards the project, which presently has no proposed opening date.
