Folkestone & Hythe District Council leader Cllr David Monk said: ‘We’ve long held ambitions to replace our popular but old and tired swimming pool in Hythe. Improving physical and mental wellbeing is one of our key priorities for the next three years as part of our commitment to positive community leadership in our new Corporate Plan.

“Back in 2012 Princes Parade – a former municipal waste tip – was identified as the preferred location for this development.

“There have been years of careful deliberation, public consultation and painstaking preparation involved in this project. We think the residents of Hythe and the wider district deserve a new swimming pool and leisure facilities fit for the 21st century.”
