Work at La Vallette can now begin after a lease agreement was signed by the States of Guernsey.

The £1.5 million redevelopment has officially been given the go ahead, with working group Vive La Vallette now seeking to sign a contract and raise the necessary funds to modernise the kiosk and changing rooms.

£800,000 has already been committed to the project - including a £300,000 contribution from the States. It is hoped work will begin on the site later this year.

The States will also carry out one-off works to improve the pool surround of the Ladies' and Children's Pools and will commit to maintaining current level of maintenance and cleaning.
