The Maple Leaf paddling pool in Sutton on Sea has closed just weeks after reopening, following a £524,000 renovation completed in May. East Lindsey District Council found the pool was losing water due to problems with its circulation and drainage systems. Investigations are under way to resolve the issue, with no reopening date confirmed. The council said repairs will not add extra costs for taxpayers.
The pool’s refurbishment began in 2023 as part of the £7.5 million Seaview Colonnade project and ran £124,000 over budget, mainly due to the installation of a new underground filtration system and rising material and labour costs. A further refill test is expected in the coming days to assess whether the site can reopen for summer visitors.
