An outdoor pool in Worcestershire is planning on reopening after the government advice on swimming pools was relaxed.

It's hoped Droitwich Lido will open by 1 August, and remain open for six weeks the council has said.

Social distancing measures mean the pool, which normally holds 550 swimmers, will be available to about 80 to 100 at a time.

Funding worth £5,000 from Wychavon District Council has made the reopening possible, said Conservative leader Bradley Thomas.
