Kick-off for renovation of the buildings at De Klomp swimming pool in Wommels
Councillor Bauke Dam presented a symbolic toolbox to the chairman of the De Klomp Swimming Pool Foundation in Wommels on Thursday, 12 March on behalf of the municipal executive. This marked the official start of the renovation of the swimming pool's buildings.
Renovation necessary
The swimming pools themselves are in good condition. However, the buildings, including the changing rooms, showers, kiosk and staff room, are outdated and in need of replacement. Although plans were already drawn up in 2018, budget cuts in 2019 and the coronavirus period caused delays.
Available budget
The municipal council has made €650,000 available for the renovation or new construction of the buildings. Any additional costs will be covered by the foundation through subsidies, sponsorship and the involvement of volunteers from Wommels and the surrounding area.
Working together towards a future-proof swimming pool
Now that the kick-off has taken place, the municipality and the foundation are working together on the further development and implementation of the project. This will ensure that De Klomp swimming pool remains a valuable and future-proof facility for Wommels and the region.
