The paddling pool at St Nicholas Park is set to remain open for another week, Warwick District Council has today (September 4) announced.

Usually the park's pool would close at the end of the summer holidays.

But as the hot weather is set to continue for the coming days, the local authority has agreed to keep it open until Sunday (September 10).

The paddling pool at Victoria Park will also remain open.

Both pools will be refilled and cleaned today.

A council statement said: "Great news!

"The paddling pools at St Nicholas Park and Victoria Park will be open for another week!

"The pools are usually open until the end of the summer school holidays, but with the weather forecast this week we've extended their opening until Sunday 10 September.

"We'll be refilling and cleaning the pools today, so both will be available from later this afternoon."
