Disappointment in Swansea as much-loved Blackpill Lido’s re-opening is postponed due to theft! The exciting Bank Holiday weekend plans were dashed when brazen thieves swiped distinctive sprinklers right from under our noses, leaving the council scrambling to find a quick fix. 🌞😭
The council is hard at work concocting a solution so families and kids can soon enjoy their favourite free summer spot. But it looks like we’ll need to wait a tad longer – at least another week – before diving into that pool again. 🚫🏊♂️
Tracey McNulty, head of cultural services at Swansea Council, expressed her disappointment, saying they’re doing everything possible to resolve the issue. They’re even examining CCTV footage and asking anyone with info to step forward. Those sprinklers are quite a sight—big and heavy—so someone might’ve spotted them being nicked. 🚐👀
It was all hands on deck last week as workers prepped the lido for its big day. But now, before the fun can resume, there’s a temporary fix to be put in place, followed by a three-day pool-filling process. 🌊⏳
The council is committed to making swift progress and ensuring the lido becomes the go-to spot for cooling off this summer. Let’s hope they catch the culprits and get us back to splashing around soon!
