Work is currently being undertaken to repair a major structural fault in the main swimming pool at the Flamingo Pool in Axminster. 

The main pool has remained closed since Christmas, after a major fault was discovered and the pool had to be drained for further inspection. 

The hydrotherapy pool remains open, although booking is essential by calling 01297 35800.

With the pool already campaigning to raise £250,000 to upgrade its facilities and make them more sustainable and cost effective, there were concerns the issue would come as a fatal blow to the pool.

But offering an update to customers, the Flamingo Pool said it had received "positive news" following professional and expert guidance on the issue, and "the outcome was promising".

"We are able to source and install new materials to reinforce the underneath framework of our aged pool," the statement said.

"With work commencing this week, we are hopeful we can welcome all customers back soon. 

"The complete timeframe is still uncertain, but we will update you as soon as we know more. 

"We thank you all for your patience and kind messages in this tough period for our pool."
