Fun Pool at Eastbourne's Sovereign Centre has re-opened following takeover

The Fun Pool at the Sovereign Centre in Eastbourne has reopened following the leisure centre’s takeover by new management.

GLL officially took over the management of the centre under its Better brand on Tuesday (April 1), after months of uncertainty and protests.

The Sovereign Centre’s fun pool was officially reopened today (Saturday, April 5) after a closure of nine months.

The new operator added that over the next three years it would invest a ‘minimum’ of £1 million in the Sovereign Centre in collaboration with Eastbourne Borough Council.

GLL said the majority of this will be spent on maintaining and upgrading crucial plant and equipment, as well as addressing structural issues.
