To ensure the safety of centre users, it will also be necessary to fully close the Premier Suite (including the sauna and steam room) while this work is taking place.

All other facilities at the centre will remain open as normal.

Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Communities and Neighbourhood Services, Coun Susan Press, said: “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to reinstate the spa pool facility and that repair work will start soon.

“The facility is well used and valued by many of our members and visitors, so it’s great news that it will be back up and running by April this year.”

Sauna and steam room facilities are available at Halifax Pool whilst the closure is in place at Todmorden.
