Nottingham City Council is spending £550,000 on repairs at Colwick Country Park marina due to “significant health and safety risks”.
The repairs are needed to the country park’s ageing pontoons, which are floating, watertight platforms immersed in the water.
They are typically used by open-water swimmers and other people taking part in watersport activities, as well as those with watercraft docked in any one of 224 moorings in the marina.
The pontoons at the park are in need of replacement due to health and safety risks, and the Labour-run authority said if repairs are not done it may lose significant income generated by the marina.
