Remarkable drone footage captures astonishing scenes at Hilsea Lido as multi-million pound work continues

Following multiple consultations, a multi-million pound project was launched last year to completely restore the pool to its former glory.

The pool, which will open in the summer, will feature new changing rooms, new benches and tables, artwork, a fountain and, most importantly, a fully functioning outdoor swimming pool.

The Portsmouth City Council has been providing fortnightly updates to show the ongoing progress at the site.

Most recently, the designs for the shuttering in the plant room are being finalised, and the walls are getting ready for the concrete pour.

The ground around the edge of the pool is ready for surfacing and soon a large tent will cover the pool to protect it from the elements.

Marcin Jedrysiak has captured some marvellous updated drone footage depicting the significant progress being made at the site.
