Campaigners are celebrating long-awaited news that cash to refurbish a swimming pool is ready.
Arundel Town Council has agreed to release a £70,000 grant for Arundel Swimming Pool.
Together with £142,000 from Arun District Council, it will be used for improvements including a new main pool tank.
Ruth Kerslake, who chairs Arundel and Downland Community Leisure Trust which took over running the pool site last year, said: "This is excellent news.
"The pool is one of the few remaining lidos in the South."
The pool closed four years ago but should reopen next summer.
