ONE of only two swimming pools in Wokingham has been forced to shut just two days into the summer holidays.

Carnival Pool had to close its doors to the public today after a boiler malfunction caused all the facility's water to run cold.

As well as the temperature of the pool water plummeting, the heating in the Wokingham Borough Council leisure centre was shut off and the showers ran cold.

Bracknell News:

It is hoped that the boiler will be fixed by tomorrow morning with the centre re-opening at 4pm.
