Westbury Swimming Pool in Wiltshire, England, has reopened for the first time in more than four months after essential repairs were carried out on the pool.

The pool was originally expected to be closed for three to four weeks in March so repairs could be carried out after the pool lining failed.

Wiltshire Council was left in a stalemate with the previous contractor over responsibility for the failed work and appointed a new one to carry out repairs, with the full cost of the work looking to be sought from the original contractors.

The pool will be offering free swimming sessions this weekend to apologise for the extended closure.
