Intriguing snaps give exciting insight into progress at Hilsea Lido with walls now painted

Take a sneak peek inside the tent at the Hilsea Lido project.

The £7.75m regeneration scheme, which is being paid for by the Levelling Up Fund and carried out by Beard, will welcome the restoration of the lido, with new changing rooms, benches, tables, fountain and a fully functioning pool pending.

The Portsmouth City Council has been providing fortnightly updates to give an insight into what is going on at the site.

The contractors have finished painting the walls blue and the outdoor showers have now been fitted.

The project, which will be operated by Sea Lanes Brighton, is due to be completed by the end of the autumn with plans to officially launch next summer.
