THE WORKS to improve a historic Buckinghamshire lido are almost completed.

Chesham Moor Gym and Swim revealed further details of the refurbished pool.

The popular 111-year-old community pool is likely to reopen in mid-February, Chesham Town Council’s head of operational services Danny Essex said.

He said: “Work still in progress but looking lovely!

“At this point we are still on schedule for mid-February. Thanks again to our members for your patience and support, we are all looking forward to the reopening of this much-loved facility.”
