Fans of Victoria Embankment paddling pool are clubbing together to try and save the facility, as they say dipping a toe in the water for free is needed more than ever due to the cost of living crisis. It was announced last month that the paddling pool would close permanently, due to an estimated £400,000 bill for getting it up to standard, which the city council said it cannot afford.
Many people across Nottingham have fond memories of the Victoria Embankment paddling pool. In the summer months enjoying a day out with friends or family, people have told Nottinghamshire Live they loved it as going there “didn’t cost a penny” in terms of entry.
It was announced last month that the pool would close permanently. Nottingham City Council who were responsible for running the pool are in talks about what would replace the landmark.
