Cheshire East Council (CEC) has announced plans to invest £1.4m in Nantwich Swimming Pool, following the completion of a full review into the Wall Lane complex.

The local authority agreed to provide funding in order to help "realise the full potential" of the venue, with improvements to include the creation of a new changing village.

A new entrance, enhanced fitness facilities and upgraded roofing are also planned, as well as the installation of a new boiler, pool filters and an air handling unit.

CEC cabinet member with responsibility for environmental services Rod Menlove said: "The review focused on the building infrastructure, pool, equipment and the key improvements required to improve the customer experience and generate additional income."

Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson added: "Cheshire East Council, in providing this significant improvement to local facilities, recognises the importance of our area and enhancing the town's appeal further."
