    Starbeck Baths to be closed until late May

    Starbeck Baths looks set to be closed for several weeks due to an "unforeseen mechanical failure".

    The Victorian swimming pool closed on Thursday last week. Its website says an air leak in the pool plant equipment caused poor water clarity.

    The timing was unfortunate because of the ongoing Easter school holidays as well as the long-term closure of The Hydro in nearby Harrogate for a delayed £11.8 million upgrade.

    Brimhams Active, which was set up by Harrogate Borough Council but is now run by North Yorkshire Council, manages leisure facilities in the Harrogate district.

    North Yorkshire Council’s assistant director for culture, arts and leisure, Jo Ireland, said:

    “We are working with Brimhams Active to resolve an unforeseen mechanical failure.
    "The situation requires the expertise of specialist contractors, and a work schedule has been set to address the issue.
    "During the downtime, other important planned maintenance work will also be carried out to ensure the facilities are in top condition when the baths reopen.
    "Although we regret any inconvenience this may have caused, we anticipate that Starbeck swimming baths will be back in operation by late May.”
