Guildford's Lido closed for repairs - again
Available for over a year
Guildford Lido is closed for repairs to a leak in the main tank and not expected to reopen until April 2024. Regular swimmers at the Lido say they're "devastated" with the closure and question why repairs weren't carried out during the refurbishment that closed the facility last winter. Freedom Leisure, which operates the pool off Stoke Road, says a leak to the main tank is getting worse. Guildford Borough Council says the work is 'vital' to the future of the lido. Peter Gordon talks to some of those affected by the closure, including Brian Dale who has been swimming at the Guildford Lido since he was a child. Photo Credit: Âé¶¹Éç Weather Watcher 'Routopia'
