A swimming pool's diving boards are set to stay following a community campaign.

Haringey Borough Council and Fusion Lifestyle have announced that diving is set to remain at Park Road Leisure Centre, in Crouch End.

Thousands of people signed a petition earlier this year after it was announced the diving facilities would be moved to Tottenham Green Leisure Centre, in Philip Lane.

Mark Munday from Fusion Lifestyle, which runs the borough’s leisure facilities, said: "I am pleased that our discussions with local residents and the Haringey Aquatics Club have come to a positive conclusion.

“We are committed to developing leisure programmes and activities at Park Road that will increase participation and meet the needs of the local community.”

Council cabinet member for environment Cllr Stuart McNamara said: “We are delighted that Fusion has listened closely to residents and users of the diving pool and has also taken the advice of a range of technical experts before coming to this decision.

“Making the best use of this pool and ensuring it is a first class facility that all of our residents can enjoy has been at the heart of all our proposals for Park Road.

“We will encourage residents to continue making the best use of these facilities and ensure that diving as a sport develops as much as possible in our borough and will of course continue to monitor Fusion’s progress as they review whether a moveable floor is still possible."
