Having closed in early October for major refurbishment works, the planned plant room upgrade at Beccles Lido has now been completed.

It has seen the "most significant upgrade" carried out at the outdoor swimming facility beside the River Waveney since the pool was refurbished in 2019, according to officials.

But with the major works carried out behind the scenes at the Lido on Puddingmoor in Beccles, a post on its website said of the plant room upgrade: "Our filtration system comprises three huge steel tanks filled with glass filtration media.

"The tanks were installed in 1975 and are approaching end-of-life.

"If they failed the pool would have to close."........
