THE main pool at the Lord Butler Fitness and Leisure Centre will be closed for at least four weeks due to a recent technical problem.

The pool has been closed since mid-August but contractors working on the site - in Peaslands Road, Saffron Walden - have estimated that the facility won't be open for some time yet.

The learner pool has not been affected by this problem and is continuing to operate as normal.

Business manager at the leisure centre, Phil Wallis, said: "We are working hard to rectify this issue but anticipate that it will be at least four weeks until the main pool is fully open to the public again.

"We are sorry to all our customers who use the pool facilities, and we would like to assure them that the rest of the leisure centre is fully open, so that they can continue to enjoy the other amenities on offer."

Should customers wish to continue to use Harpers swimming facilities they are welcome to use the pool at Great Dunmow Leisure Centre, Parsonage Downs, Great Dunmow.
