Walsall swimming pool hit by threat of closure

A swimming pool used by schoolchildren in Walsall has come under threat.

Published

Walsall Council is considering plans to close the pool at Pelsall Education Development Centre, in Rushall, after it was deemed surplus to requirements.

Other services at the centre, including a nursery are also being reviewed.

It comes as the local authority prepares to end its contract with Walsall children's services Serco, which is based at the centre, next month.

Pelsall Education Development Centre has been targeted as part of Walsall Council's Smarter Workplaces programme.

Council bosses say all services at the centre will be reviewed before a final decision is made.
