Kidderminster Town Council held its Full Council meeting on Wednesday 22 January 2025, during which an update was provided on the status of St George’s paddling pool.
To ensure clarity for the community members agreed the following motion:
- This Council aims to re-open the St. George’s Park Paddling Pool for Summer 2026.
- The Services Committee and the Working Group should address this aim and make their recommendations to Full council in April 2025.
It is important to note, no decision has yet been made regarding the opening of St George’s paddling pool 2026.
The Council meeting in April should authorise officers to carry out any research, including public consultation, if required, as well as full financial costings, etc, so that this matter can be properly assessed in Budget 26-27, with our aim to re-open for Summer 2026.
The Town Council will continue to collaborate with the local paddling pool action group to explore available options
The matter is scheduled for further discussion during the Services Committee meeting in February 2025. Following these discussions a recommendation will be presented to the Full Council meeting in April 2025 for final consideration.
For full transparency, the minutes of all meetings, including this update, are available on the Kidderminster Town Council website.
