THE swimming pool at Better Bude Leisure Centre will be closed during repair works to the roof.

Work will begin on Monday, September 8, and is expected to take just over four weeks to complete. The pool will reopen on Friday, October 10.

Alternative arrangements are in place for foundation level swimming lessons to be held in an alternative pool throughout the closure period, while gym and fitness continue as usual.

“We’re sorry about the temporary disruption which is necessary for safety reasons and have written to all our members to explain what’s happening,” said James Curry, GLL head of service in Cornwall.

“Storm Darragh (in December 2024) certainly packed a powerful punch, but I’m delighted that Bude’s roof is being fully replaced, and its solar array repaired.”
