Lido shut due to 'issue in the plant room'

Peterborough Lido opened slightly earlier this year

A city centre lido has been shut since 7 July due to an ongoing issue.

The operator of Peterborough Lido, Vivacity, said on its website that the pool had to be closed following a problem in "the plant room".

It apologised for the inconvenience and said it is working to rectify the problem as soon as possible.

The heated pool with an average temperature of 23C opened on 29 March for this year’s season – slightly earlier than usual due to the Regional Pool’s closure.

Both Vivacity and Peterborough City Council were contacted for comment.
