Work to address a number of technical issues at the swimming pools at Eastwood Park Leisure are being carried out.

In a statement last week, East Renfrewshire Council said the pools were to close after chemical readings obtained during routine water quality standard tests revealed the water did not meet acceptable levels.

While there is no threat to public health, a decision was made to close the pools to try and resolve the problem.


Following an investigation by water quality experts, sand filters, which are used to remove debris from the pool water, are to be replaced. The council has said this will take place over the next few weeks, while additional improvements will be made to the plumbing.

The pools are scheduled to reopen on 30 September.

A spokesperson for East Renfrewshire Council said: "The provision of swimming pool water that is of the highest quality is our absolute priority.

"We appreciate that people have been inconvenienced by this and we apologise but please be assured that we are working to resolve this as soon as possible."
