Swimmers’ fears as Matlock pool closure is extended
News that a Dales swimming pool will be closed for repairs until at least October has sparked anger from users.
Derbyshire Dales District Council has said residents will be without the facility while extensive work on the main pool takes place.
Steve Sankey, chairman of Matlock and District Swimming Club, said he feared the Lido would suffer the same fate as Sherwood Hall leisure centre.
Mr Sankey said the club also risked losing swimmers to other clubs and falling competition results.
Matlock Mayor Cate Hopkinson said she also had concerns about the Lido after Sherwood Hall closed.
