The NSC flumes will not be open before the end of the School summer holidays.

That's been confirmed by Education, Sport and Culture Minister Dr Alex Allinson, following a question in a special sitting of Tynwald.

Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse had asked about the opening and the NSC's total loss of revenue.

Dr Allinson said a paper has been submitted to Treasury confirming a proposed agreement with the contractors involved to rectify the issues regarding the flumes.

The leisure pool has been closed since August 2018.
