Seaside pool restoration starts
The chosen option for the Fairy Dell pool
How the Fairy Dell pool is expected to look
Work to restore a well-known paddling pool in Skegness has begun.

The Fairy Dell was closed in autumn 2004 after water quality problems were discovered, but 4,000 people signed a petition asking for it to be reopened.

More than 800 people responded to a council survey asking how the pool should be refurbished in 2005.

A spokesperson from East Lindsey District Council said the restoration would cost about �250,000 and be completed by May.

The council confirmed the pool would be restored with its existing fountain and a new bridge.

Plans also include an access ramp to the main pool, a new pool surround and a refurbished shelter.
