More Than £80K Secured For Ryde Swimming Pool
By Iona Stewart-Richardson
Vital funding has been secured for a community swimming pool in Ryde.
The charity-run Waterside Pool will benefit from a £82,000 cash windfall from the National Leisure Centre Recovery Fund, launched by Sport England last year.
The money will help plug significant COVID-relayed losses sustained by the pool during the pandemic.
Isle of Wight Council officers worked closely with staff and trustees of the Waterside Community Trust to put forward a bid. Earlier this week they received the good news it had been successful.
