The municipal swimming pool in Giugliano, closed since the summer after the town ended its contract with the previous operator, is heading toward a new management award.

According to Il Mattino, the town plans to move down the ranking from the previous tender and award the facility to the bidder already willing to take over. Councillor Marco Sepe said the previous contract was rescinded in July and the move down the ranking was ordered at the end of October.

The proposed award still requires a resolution to be approved by the municipal council. Council approval is still required before the reassignment can take effect.

Under the planned arrangement, the new operator would pay for the required renovation work, with the cost later offset against the annual fees owed to the municipality. No figure or full list of the remaining work has been released.

The facility is in Via Epitaffio and was also used for rehabilitation and inclusion activities, including activities for children and young people with disabilities.

The administration says it wants to complete the award process by the end of the month. The actual reopening to the public depends on council approval and completion of the work, and no reopening date has been announced.
