Swimming pool works 'on time and on budget'
The Gazette
|October 02, 2025
A MULTI-MILLION pound scheme to deliver a new swimming pool at Eston Leisure Centre is on schedule and on budget, councillors have been told.
A recent update on the project delivered to members of Redcar and Cleveland Council’s growth scrutiny committee said it was “on schedule” with around eight months of the programmed works remaining.
The new facility will feature a 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool and a separate learner pool as well as changing facilities and 150-seat spectator gallery. The now demolished old pool was last open to the public in 2020.
The local authority decided to replace the pool after an assessment by consultants predicted a near-£3m repair bill would be needed to put it back into action due to its deteriorating condition.
The overall cost of the scheme was previously put at more than £19m, paid for by more than £12m of council borrowing, a £6.2m grant from the previous Government’s Levelling Up Fund and £700,000 from the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
