The Shetland Recreational Trust has announced the Scalloway Pool will close after the 31st of March.

SRT Chief Executive Robert Geddes said the organisation has been under financial pressure for many years.

He added that despite alterations to staffing levels and operating times and days in recent years, it has not proved sustainable.

The SRT says all activities will be moved to other leisure centres across the isles, including Clickimin.

Staff will also be supported to relocate to other SRT sites.

More in Good Evening Shetland tonight.
