The flumes at Perth Leisure Pool are expected to open on Friday after being suddenly closed for ‘essential maintenance’.

The flumes were closed on Tuesday.

However, repairs have now been carried out.

A post of social media states: “Following a thorough inspection we are pleased to report that no major issues were discovered.

“Some minor repairs will be carried out overnight Thursday into Friday and we expect to reopen the flumes as normal from 4pm on Friday.

“All other facilities continue to operate as normal. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

The training pool and health suite remained open as normal at that time.

Courier campaign to save Perth’s leisure facilities

At the beginning of this year, Perth and Kinross Council proposed closing Perth Leisure Pool, Dewars Centre and Bell’s Sports Centre and merging them into one facility.

Councillors voted to reject a proposal which would not have included a leisure pool in Perth.

Courier campaign has been set up to amplify local voices to protect Perth’s leisure facilities.
