Beccles Society has pledged its support for the lido's appeal to raise £110,000 to install modern toilet and changing block facilities.

The society's chairman Paul Fletcher was joined by Hugh Taylor to present a cheque for £250 to Beccles Lido director Suzanne Gibbons.

Mr Fletcher said: 'A wonderful job has been achieved in bringing the swimming pool back to life and to the standard it has reached today; the new scheme will add much needed additional and up-to-date facilities.'

Mr Taylor added: 'One of the key aims of the Beccles Society is to stimulate awareness of the impact physical developments have on the social, cultural and commercial life of Beccles and its surroundings - the lido is doing just that and we applaud their efforts.'
