The derelict lido in Grange-over-Sands is one step closer to reopening.

At long last, plans are afoot to do something about the derelict pool at the end of the promenade here in Grange.

After a local survey, the majority of residents are in favour of restoring the town’s historic lido.

The cost of restoration is estimated at an eye watering £5million.

Nonetheless, South Lakeland District Council has already approved a £1.96m project to stabilise the buildings.
