Yearsley swimming pool in York has had to close for the third time in two months.

This time the closure follows a power cut last Sunday night.

A City of York Council spokesman said it was hoped the pool could reopen today after electricians spent yesterday at the pool.

He said the closure was unconnected with two previous closures, which were due to pump repair and repairs to an emergency switch.

The Barbican pool is due to reopen in the New Year after repairs to the ceiling have taken place. Customers are asked to ring 01904 622773 before setting out to use Yearsley Pool today.
