Wetteren De Warande pool closure

Overview

The De Warande outdoor swimming pool in Wetteren is scheduled for permanent closure on August 30, following nearly 75 years of operation. To commemorate the facility's history, the municipality has organized a farewell event featuring various activities and a historical exhibition hosted by Erfgoed Wetteren in early September.

The decision has faced local opposition. While the Vlaams Belang party planned a protest march, the Groen-Vooruit party has also announced support for citizen-led protests. Opponents emphasize the pool’s social and community value and are calling for renewed attention to swimming infrastructure within the municipality.
