A local swimming pool is to receive a £227,500 boost from a government grant to improve its energy efficiency and cut costs.
Swale Borough Council successfully bid for funding from the Sport England Pools Support Fund (SPSF), working with Faversham Pools Trust, to refurbish Faversham Pools with energy saving measures.
The air handling unit (AHU), responsible for heating and filtering the air in the pool area, is from 1993 and is in urgent need of replacement.
The grant will fund a new AHU unit, adding heat recovery, which aims to make heating more efficient by recovering heat lost from its exhaust.
The new AHU will also offer improvements such as variable speed fans, significantly improving energy efficiency, air quality and reducing costs.
The government's SPSF, a 60 million capital investment program, aims to improve the energy efficiency of public swimming pool facilities and support the long-term sustainability of public leisure.
264 local authorities have received a share of the funding, including Swale Borough Council, with £20 million provided by Sport England through the National Lottery and over £40 million from the Government.
Cllr Richard Palmer, chairman of the community committee, said:
“We know this pool is loved by the community, it's a place for kids to do fun exercise and socialize and it provides a space for people to stay fit.
“So we are grateful for this funding, which will enable us to make major energy saving improvements to the Faversham pool facility.
“The new heating system will help the Pools offset significant increases in energy costs.
“Of course, we would have liked to have received funding for our other pool facilities, but the demand for funding exceeded the available funds.
“We will retain the bid information we have used for other groups in case future funding opportunities become available.”
Michael Ellsmore, Joint Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Faversham Pools, said:
“We are very pleased to have been successful in providing this funding.
“It builds on our success in improving the infrastructure of the Pools, and I am also grateful to everyone involved in preparing the funding bid.
“While the funding helps us significantly, we continue to face challenges in covering our operating costs.”
Sports Minister Stuart Andrew said:
“Millions of people swim every year in England, but high energy costs mean some pools are struggling financially.
“I know from personal experience the health benefits of heading down to your local pool, whether it's just for a few laps, a swim with friends or an aqua aerobics class.
“This support of a further £60 million from the Government and Sport England will make hundreds of swimming pools more energy efficient so they can continue to provide their vital community and health benefits for generations to come.”
