The main Frome swimming pool is to re-open September 1.

The Fusion Lifestyle operation, which is managed by Mendip Council opened the gym and classes on August 10.

But the council has just announced that the swimming pool will open at the beginning of next month.

It states: " We know our leisure facilities are really important for our customer's health and well-being and we want them open again as soon as possible, so we hope that you will bear with us during this time. Please be assured, we are working closely with Local Councils to continue to assess the situation and will bring news to our customers as soon as possible."

As a registered charity, Fusion is supporting the #SaveLeisure campaign launched by Community Leisure UK urging the UK Government to commit circa £800m relief funding to enable the full reopening and recovery of the public leisure sector.
