THE swimming pool at Leominster Leisure Centre will be shut from December 3 to January 5 for scheduled essential maintenance.

The fitness suite, sports hall, squash court and studios are unaffected and will remain open.

Herefordshire Council said scheduled maintenance takes place at regular intervals to prevent unscheduled closures and disruptions that can be open-ended and costly.
