Orkney swimming pool scheme on course for November completion
BY Pete Hayman
Work on the construction of a swimming pool at the Pickaquoy Centre in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands, remains on course for completion this November, according to the local authority.
Orkney Islands Council (OIC) said that the six-lane facility is now due to be tiled, with work also being completed on three squash courts and changing areas as part of a new extension.
Other facilities will include a teaching pool, a toddler pool and a sauna and steamroom. Once work is completed on tiling the main pool, a moveable floor will be installed.
OIC project director Alan Moar said: "The pool will meet the latest standards for a facility of this kind - it's good to see the care that is going into getting things right."
