The Regional Pool car park in Peterborough is to close temporarily so that demolition of the Regional Pool building can be carried out.
The car park will close from Monday 17 March for a period of 16 weeks whilst the work takes place.
Residents who use the car park are being advised to use nearby car parks during this time including Bishops Road, Riverside and Car Haven – information about alternative car parks can be found here.
Councillor Mohammed Jamil, cabinet member for Peterborough City Council, said: “Following a soft-strip out of the Regional Pool building earlier this year we are now ready to begin formal demolition.
“Unfortunately this will mean that the Regional Pool car park is closed temporarily, however, there is plenty of parking available at nearby car parks in the city centre and we advise residents to use these for the time being."
The Regional Fitness and Swimming Centre was closed in September 2023 following works to remove asbestos and then the discovery of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC).
The decision was made to permanently close the centre by the council's cabinet in March 2024 due to costs to repair the building not representing best value for the authority.
