Bucksburn Swimming Pool Reopens

Lodged by Jackie Dunbar (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 14 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the reopening of the refurbished Bucksburn Swimming Pool on 29 June 2026; notes that the reopening was marked by a ribbon cutting undertaken by Olympic finalist, Hannah Miley, and Helga Sheilds, a 98-year-old local resident who has lived across from the pool since its opening in 1970 and is a much-loved figure among Sport Aberdeen staff and the local community; understands that the facility has reopened following a £2.1 million refurbishment funded by Aberdeen City Council, delivering improved accessibility, enhanced energy efficiency and modernised facilities for local residents; recognises the efforts of the community who campaigned to retain and improve swimming provision in Bucksburn, and hopes that this much-loved pool will continue to be widely used and enjoyed for many years to come.
