A children's splash pad at a park in Kidderminster is expected to remain closed for the rest of the week after a health and safety incident. 

In an update today (Tuesday, June 4), Wyre Forest District Council confirmed that the Brinton Park Splashpad would remain closed whilst the team waited for the results of water sample testing. 

A spokesperson for Wyre Forest District Council said: "The splashpad will now remain closed for the rest of the week whilst we wait for water sample testing to come back."

The pool has been closed since Sunday (June 2) and remained out of action yesterday (Monday, June 3) due to high chlorine levels as a result of cleaning.

Before the latest update, it was initially hoped the facility would be able to reopen today. 

Brinton Park Heritage Fund also issued a plea for parents and carers to ensure little ones use the toilet before enjoying the facility or wear swim nappies if not toilet trained.

In a statement issued yesterday, a spokesperson for Brinton Park Heritage Fund said: "Our team has checked the water quality to make sure it is safe for your children to play in.

“Unfortunately, after yesterday's incident, the chlorine levels remain too high."

The facility was also closed briefly last month after a similar incident.
