Pool attendance soars to record 9500 this summer

During a recent government meeting, officials reported a significant increase in pool attendance for the summer season, highlighting a successful reopening after two years of closure. The attendance figures for the calendar year 2024 revealed that approximately 9,500 visitors frequented the pool, a notable rise compared to previous years.

In 2019, attendance was around 3,500, which remained consistent in 2020 before the facility was closed for two years.

The meeting concluded with a call for further council comments, underscoring the collaborative spirit among officials as they acknowledged the community's support and the hard work of staff in ensuring a successful pool season.
