THE main swimming pool at Dudley's Duncan Edwards Leisure Centre has now re-opened in time for the half-term holiday.

Council bosses said yesterday (Thursday) that the pool had been closed due to a technical fault but it has now been confirmed that it’s back open.

A statement on the leisure centre's website said: "The main pool has now re-opened following a technical fault. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.”

A council spokesperson added that there'd been a fault with the pump in the pool.

The multi-million pound leisure centre, on Constitution Hill, opened in January 2022 - replacing the old Dudley Leisure Centre in Wellington Road.
