HINDLEY Pool is closed until mid-April for major improvements.

Essential repair and maintenance work are scheduled plus a new ramp and automatic doors for better pram and wheelchair access.

Improved family changing facilities include private changing cubicles for parents or carers with children, a baby changing area, a private breast feeding area, separate toilets, showers and lockers and direct access to the small pool.

Better disabled changing room facilities are included in the scheme being financed by Wigan Council and Sure Start.
