Dingwall Swimming Pool re-opening date still unknown following further delays; ventilation system work at High Life Highland facility being worked on; Highland Council says it will open 'as soon as possible'

PEOPLE eager to get back in the swim at a Ross-shire leisure centre are still waiting to find out when they can take the plunge.

The swimming pool at Dingwall Leisure Centre has been closed since the end of July to allow for essential maintenance work to be carried out.

It was due to have re-opened at the beginning of last week after a number of delays but that was put off after it emerged more time was needed to get the ventilation system up and running.

Pool users have been told: "The additional time is required to get the new ventilation system up and running to ensure that there is an ambient temperature in the pool hall for swimmers.

"It is unfortunate that the works have run on longer than anticipated, but it is felt that opening before works are fully complete would not be acceptable to centre users, further opening updates will be made on social media."

The pool is run by High Life Highland for Highland Council.

A Highland Council spokesperson said: “Works continue at Dingwall pool to ensure that it is fully operational and safe before reopening to the public. We are unable to give a definitive re-opening date but give assurance that it will be as soon as possible."
