Halo has submitted plans for an extensive refurbishment and extension to the facilities at Ross Swimming Pool.

While there are no alterations planned to the swimming pool itself, the plan encompasses internal and external work, including the provision of replacement pool hall windows, and a new single and double storey extensions to the main entrance.

The increase in accommodation, comprising an additional 355m2 of floorspace, would provide a larger Fitness Suite and additional Dance Studio, whilst 'greatly improving the changing facilities and support accommodation for both visitors and staff'. The new Fitness Suite facility would accommodate 50 users and the Dance Studio 24 users. Read the full report in this week's Gazette.
