A century old swimming club has reopened after a £600k refurbishment.
Brinscall Pool, in Chorley, is now back open to the public following repairs to the pool structure and an upgrade of the poolside facilities and changing areas.
The phased re-opening of the pool will see instructor led sessions including school swimming, learn to swim programmes, clubs and aqua aerobics return initially with public lane swim, aqua and family swim available in October half-term.
The pool and poolside have both been retiled including replacement steps into the pool, the cubicles have been refreshed, there are brand new shower and WC facilities alongside new LED lighting and Air Handling Units which have been installed. The entrance and reception area have also been refurbished.
Councillor Bev Murray, executive cabinet member for early intervention said: “We are committed to ensuring that everyone in Chorley can have access to quality and affordable leisure facilities.
“In a climate where other local authorities are choosing to close their facilities, we are proud to have been able to make significant investments into the historic landmark ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.”

<h2>Prominent cement manufacturers have reportedly been invited to a meeting regarding the escalating cost of the product, according to Minister of Works <a href="https://naijanews.com/topic/dave-umahi/">David Umahi</a>.</h2>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> reports that he voiced concern that cement producers were not receiving enough business from road and housing construction, and that the price of the commodity was increasing at an absurd rate.</p>
<p>The meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 19, 2024, at the Ministry's Conference Hall in Mabushi, Abuja, according to a statement released on Saturday by Orji Uchenna Orji, the Minister's Special Adviser for Media.</p>
<p>The statement detailed that <em>“The Minister of Works, David Umahi, has summoned an urgent meeting of all cement manufacturers in Nigeria.”</em></p>
<p>It stated that BUA Plc, Larfarge, Dangote Plc, and other entities were invited to the curcial meeting.</p>
<p>The minister acknowledged that manufacturers had difficulties and promised to investigate.</p>
<p>He, however, lamented that the gap between the ex-factory price and the market price is enormous.</p>
<p>He said that for them to develop a common front, they needed to investigate the situation and other issues.</p>
<p><strong>Naija News</strong> had earlier reported that the Nigeria’s Minister of Housing and Urban Development Ahmed Dangiwa, in a proactive move to address the escalating cost of cement and other building materials, convened a strategic meeting with manufacturers within the industry.</p>
<p>This was outlined in a statement by his special adviser on media, Mark Chiese, on Thursday.</p>
<p>The meeting aims to delve into the challenges facing the sector, with a focus on devising strategies to curb the rising prices and facilitate the provision of affordable housing across the country.</p>
<p>The minister expressed concern over the soaring costs of building materials, which have seen a dramatic increase despite Nigeria’s rich deposits of raw materials necessary for production.</p>
<p>A recent survey along the airport road indicated that the price for a 50kg bag of cement has surged to N9,000, marking a 38.8 percent increase from its previous rate of N5,500 just a week earlier.</p>
