West Norfolk Council says it needs to replace the ageing St James Pool in the centre of King's Lynn and wants to build a new, larger pool at the town's Lynnsport leisure centre.

Councillors on the authority's corporate performance panel are being asked to agree to set aside more than £845,000 to cover the cost of designing the new facility, and drawing up a business case.

But an officer's report said the money spent will only "determine whether the project should proceed to construction".
