Further to the announcement in December 2017 it is now confirmed the swimming pools at the National Sports Centre (NSC) are scheduled to close from Friday 3rd August 2018 and is due to reopen in Spring 2019.
Minister for Education, Culture and Sport Graham Cregeen MHK said: ’The Programme for Government sets out a number of targets around health and wellbeing such as increasing the number of people regularly undertaking physical exercise, and increasing healthy life expectancy…Access to sports facilities plays a key role in realising these ambitions. The island has invested considerably in sport over the past 25 years and we continue to reap rewards from this.’
