Tarmac donation makes a big splash in Settle Swimming Pool refurbishments

With the Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund contribution, the pool has now been successfully renovated, with changing rooms also modernised, a reception area extended and a new café and multi-use wellbeing centre added, called fitSpace.
