Conservatives on the Borough Council have been successful in getting £150,000 allocated for the extensive refurbishment of the changing facilities at Park Pool.
Councillor Paul Greenall, Deputy Leader of the Conservatives said: "I am delighted that the Conservative proposal was approved as it will help to ensure the future viability of Park Pool at a time when it is in direct competition with the new facilities at Sporting Edge. It is very popular with increasing usage and provides an essential sporting facility for the people of Ormskirk and the surrounding areas."
"Aditionally, more than 2,000 school children are currently receiving regular swimming lessons and it has a vital role to play in improving the health and fighting obesity," he added.
