McKenzie Pool construction work started

Reconstruction of Petone’s McKenzie Pool in Udy Street started this month.Members of the Petone Community Board and myself were there as the demolition machines bit into the old concrete structure to make way for a new pool complex. Petone residents have been waiting for this moment and I am very pleased the job has started and that completion is on track for November this year. The new McKenzie Pool complex will be a great community asset and the design will encourage families to make good use of the pools and additional splash pad and water play equipment.The two pools, a standard lane pool and a separate pool for learners and  toddlers, will ensure everyone is catered for. The main contract for building work has gone to Hawkins Construction NI Ltd with filtration pipework and water play equipment being installed by Ian Coombes Ltd. The main pool will be assembled and installed in Petone by Jacobs Construction Ltd
