Active Northumberland have announced that Concordia swimming pool is closed temporarily while further improvement work is carried out at the centre.

The sports centre will however remain open with lots of activities on offer including Clip n’ Climb, Ten Pin Bowling, The Hive Café, soft play and numerous of exercise and fitness classes.

New flooring is being laid in the changing area, which in turn prevents customers from using the changing facilities for the pool.

It was decided to carry out the work in December as this is always the quietest time for swimming and it would cause the least disturbance to customers at the centre.

It is expected that the work will be complete and the pool back open to the public by late December
