THINGS are heating up and everyone is looking for ways to keep cool.

Luckily for those living in Northwich, that task is about to get a little easier.

The Church Walk paddling pool reopens this weekend and with temperatures once again expected to reach into the 20s, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Northwich Town Council’s announcement of the pool reopening has caused huge excitement on social media, with the Facebook post attracting more than 600 reactions.

Ahead of the opening on Saturday (May 25), the pool has been cleaned, refilled and all the necessary tests have been carried out.

There will once again be a booking system in place, with many having already secured their free timed slots.

Last year more than 24,000 tickets were booked across 202 sessions.
