    Ripon's new leisure centre and pool will open on Wednesday, it was announced this afternoon.

    Harrogate Borough Council has just published a series of tweets announcing the Jack Laugher Leisure and Wellness Centre on Dallamires Lane will welcome its first visitors at 6.30am.

    The facilities include a 25-metre six-lane pool and sauna and steam room.

    The council said in a statement:

    "The new six-lane 25m swimming pool has 70 per cent more water space compared to Ripon Spa Baths and has a wealth of improvements that come with modern swimming facilities.
    "These include the AngelEye pool safety system that, with the use of underwater cameras, assists lifeguards to detect whether swimmers are in danger or drowning.
    "The new pool will be open every day of the week and offers customers a variety of different activities, including general and family swim, swimming lessons and Aquafit, as well as a sauna suite.
    "Outside, a new car park has been installed along with a sheltered cycle rack, electric car charging points and a new play area."


    The pool was due to be ready nine months ago and the project is currently £4m over budget.
