Bangor Swimming Pool in Gwynedd, North Wales, has reopened following work to disinfect the centre's shower system after routine tests revealed elevated levels of legionella bacteria last week.

The pool, which is run by Gwynedd Council, was re-opened to the public on 27 January, more than a week after it closed as a precautionary measure. A spokesperson for the council said: "Ensuring the safety of all members of the public who uses the council's swimming pools and leisure centres is our main priority. Since the closure of the pool, remedial measures have been undertaken including thorough disinfection.

"Further tests have indicated that the problem has been addressed, and on the basis of appropriate professional advice, we have re-opened the facility."
