A popular paddling pool in Stourport has reopened after it was forced to close due to vandalism. 

Stourport Town Council announced that the Riverside Padding Pool had reopened today (Friday, August 9) following work to repair the damage. 

The pool was closed on Monday (August 5) after it was targeted by vandals with contractors working hard to repair the pool as quickly as possible.

They have now urged residents to help them keep the pool open for the remainder of the season which ends on Sunday, September 8.

"Please help us to keep it open for the remainder of the season which will end on 8th September 2024."
