Following a change of pool design, Lazonby Pool require a specialised winter cover that prevents leaves gathering and degrading/damaging the new liner and which withstands larger debris from gales and prevents accidental falls into the pool. During the closed season the pool is partially emptied but still has a drowning risk. A full award would also enable them to also help fulfil another big need, namely to replace a corroded 20-year-old lifeguard chair.
