It is expected that the council will award a contract between September 2025 and January 2026, and then building work would begin.John Howard, deputy leader and cabinet member for corporate governance and finance, said council officers had "taken the time to carefully consider the options available".

He said the new facility would "serve the city well for decades to come and will attract people from far and wide"."That must be our aspiration, rather than placing a sticking plaster on what we have already," he explained.Mr Farooq added he believed the council had "taken the right decision" and residents would be updated on the pool's progress.

In the meantime, modular pools which require no excavating, have been considered as an alternative.No date has been confirmed for these pools yet.

Opening season for the Peterborough Lido has also been extended to compensate for the loss of the Regional Pool. The Lido was kept open for the first time in its history during the winter last year.

Previously, Ben Negus, of the City of Peterborough Swimming Club, who practiced at the facility until it closed said building a new pool was "the right decision”.But he suggested two other possibilities: that all three retailers share a common supplier or technology that has been compromised and used as an entry point for hackers.

Or the scale of the attack on M&S had prompted security teams at other retailers to look more closely at their safety logs and act on activity they would not have previously judged a risk."It's a lesson again in the growing difficulty large organisations have in securing against threats in their supply chain, particularly as those threats grow in volume and sophistication," he said.

It is believed the disruption at M&S was a ransomware attack.This is a type of malicious software used to scramble important data or files after gaining access to computer systems, essentially locking them away unless a ransom is paid.
