The tennis courts in Abbey Fields will be temporarily closed from Thursday (October 6), Warwick District Council has said.

The council announced at the start of September that contracts had been signed for demolition and redevelopment of the town's swimming pools.

WDC also confirmed that the children's playground and tennis courts will be closed during the works, although the play area will remain open at weekends for the entirety of the project.

A council statement said: "The tennis courts at Abbey Fields will be temporarily closed from next Thursday [October 6] as demolition work starts on the swimming pool."

The path from Bridge Street and the small footbridge next to the swimming pool will be closed during the work.

A temporary path is being created over the duck feeding platform in Abbey Fields to allow access from High Street to Abbey Hill, which will open when the hoarding is assembled.
