Work to find a way of reopening Scarborough's Alpamare Water Park is continuing according to one local councillor.
North Yorkshire Councillor - Neil Swannick - says it's a complicated situation but with the council now having gained control of the site, discussions are ongoing.
North Yorkshire Council took possession of the Alpamare Waterpark in Scarborough just before Christmas and said that contractors working for the authority would undertake assessments and ensure the site is safe before options are explored to consider the future operation of the attraction.
The tenant of the North Bay attraction, Benchmark Leisure Ltd, went into administration in October this year.
Speaking in December North Yorkshire Council’s assistant director for commercial, property and procurement, Kerry Metcalfe, said:
“I can confirm we have taken possession of the former Alpamare waterpark in Scarborough.
“We are committed to ensuring that all the necessary assessments and work is undertaken in a thorough and professional manner and that we consider all options for the future operation of the site.
“Through this, it is hoped that measures will be in place to open the facility in time for the main 2024 summer season. We will keep the public updated as the necessary work progresses.”
The news was been welcomed by local users of the pool who had been concerned about the facility falling into disrepair.
