THE 25-metre pool at Stourbridge’s Crystal Leisure Centre has reopened after closure due to a technical fault.

The pool, along with the leisure pool, at the Bell Street facility were closed on Tuesday after a problem left the centre with no running hot water.

Council bosses, however, confirmed today (Wednesday September 11) that the 25m pool has now reopened having reached the recommended temperature guidelines, with the leisure pool expected to re-open tomorrow (Thursday September 12).

In a statement sent out to residents across the borough, Dudley Council said: “An engineer has been out and rectified the fault at Crystal Leisure Centre.

“The centre now has running hot water and the 25m pool is now open (September 11), having reached the recommended temperature guidelines.

“The leisure pool remains closed at this time, it is expected to re-open at midday tomorrow.

“We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

“All other facilities at the centre continue to be available to the public.”
