PADDLING pools across Conwy County will open for the summer holidays.

The Pioneer reported in June that Conwy County Borough Council had started cleaning the pools out and repairing them in preparation.

The pools will open on Monday, July 19.

The local authority have asked people "not to use and self-isolate" if displaying Covid-19 symptoms.

Craig-y-Don paddling pool is one of the largest outdoor paddling pools in Wales. It measures 116m – 21m with a maximum depth of 2ft. Free parking is limited on the prom.

It stands next to Alana Spencer's desserts shack; The Apprentice winner opened her cafe in May.

There is also Llanfairfechan Paddling Pool, West Shore Road; Penmaenmawr Paddling Pool, Beach Road and Rhos on Sea Paddling Pool on Abbey Road.

One person posted on the council Facebook page: "Looks amazing. Shame Rhyl can’t do something like that."

Another wrote: "It would be nice to have a Lido, like the swimming pool we had a Rhos years ago."
