The company planning to restore and reopen Broomhill Pool in Ipswich has insisted their ambitious scheme to turn it into a year-round leisure centre is still on course, despite being delayed by the Covid pandemic.
Work to clear trees around the site started in early 2020 just weeks before the first lockdown came in.
The full restoration had been due to start around Easter last year and there were hopes that the new leisure centre would be open this summer.

Stuff requested a copy of the report, but a council spokesperson said it had only just received the report itself and staff were still in the process of reviewing it and considering it. It meant the full report was yet to go to council, and at this stage, it would not be made public. Another council report says the Bluff Pool Trust has indicated the $1.4m can be fundraised. Bluff Pool Trust representative Ian Sutherland was unable to be contacted on Friday. In October, before the assessment report was done, Sutherland told the Bluff Community Board at a meeting that the Bluff Pool Trust would need to seek funding to upgrade the pool heating and ventilation system, which was around $170,000.
