Hull is splashing out on a £4.6m outdoor swimming pool.
The city council has voted to reopen the Albert Pool lido as part of a wider regeneration.
It is not the only one. Other lidos expected to open in 2022 include Cleveland pools in Bath, Britain’s oldest outdoor lido dating back more than 200 years; and Sea Lanes in Brighton, a brand new 50-metre outdoor pool on a privately run site billing itself as “the first national open water swimming centre of excellence”.
In Salford the Cotton Quays near the BBC’s Media City is set to include a lido as well as 1,500 homes, two hotels and floating gardens.
