THE grand opening of Grange-over-Sands's new swimming pool has been delayed after the man who was due to cut the ribbon on the multi-million pound community project suffered a minor heart attack.
David Oxley CBE, former chairman of Sport England, was due to open the Berners' pool Thursday but the ceremony will now take place at a later date when he is well enough to attend.
The full public opening has also been put back from May 1 to 15 after late delivery of health and safety kit to contractors. Bookings will automatically be rescheduled at the same time two weeks later.
Anyone who wishes to change a reservation can contact 015395-38150.
