Millbrook Pool 'Is Safe To Use'

Wednesday, 24 July 2019 07:34

The government has promised that the Millbrook Park paddling pool is safe to use, after re-opening twice this month.

Concerns have been raised after it was closed days after re-opening for the first time, after a young girl slipped when entering the pool.

It was opened again yesterday.

A government spokesperson then released a statement to allay any fears over safety.

"Tests have been carried out that confirmed the slip-resistant surface was finished to a high quality and standard. No changes needed to be made to the pool. The pool is safe to use and no further investigations are taking place."
