\n Construction is currently ongoing at the facility as part of an expansion at Fakenham Sports and Fitness Centre.\n<\/p>\n
\n The 25 metre facility will mark the first time in 10 years that swimming will be available in the town.\n<\/p>\n
\n Work on the pool was initially expected to be completed and open to visitors by December of this year.\n<\/p>\n

\n However, North Norfolk District Council has confirmed that this has been delayed by two months after issues relating to delivery of steel due to the Iran conflict.\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesman for NNDC said: “The new Fakenham Sports and Leisure hub is a large and complex development with many moving parts.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The works are progressing well and the new gym and other internal areas are due to open as scheduled between December 2026 and January 2027.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Construction of the pool has been slightly delayed because of the impact of the Iran conflict on the delivery of the steels for the superstructure.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The anticipated opening of the pool is now February 2027”.\n<\/p>\n

\n The centre will be run by leisure operators Everyone Active, who described the pool as “a long-awaited return of swimming amenity” in Fakenham.\n<\/p>\n
\n It is replacing the pavilion previously used by Little Angels Pre-School before its relocation to the town’s rugby club.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n
