Portishead Pool to be on TV

Portishead open-air pool campaign pins hopes on TV makeover show | Bristol News | This Is Bristol

Portishead's neglected open-air pool could be restored to its former glory within weeks if it is chosen to feature in a TV makeover show.

London-based independent production company Twofour Broadcast has shortlisted the pool as a possible community regeneration project for a series it is filming for UKTV Style this year.

The pool is one of six community projects across the UK being considered for the programme, called Ty's Great British Adventure.

If chosen, the pool would undergo a makeover that could see it upgraded and returned to its glory days.

Trustees who want to take over the management of the pool from North Somerset Council have already put together a five-year plan of improvements at the Lido, including installing solar panels and a pool cover, refurbishing the changing rooms and re-opening the children's pool.
