Developers behind plans for a new facility in Lichfield say it will create jobs and help swimmers of all abilities.

Proposals have been created for a vacant unit on Lichfield Retail Park, on Eastern Avenue, to be converted.

The Swim House would feature a 25-metre four-lane pool, a dry training facility, physio access, flotation room and a cafe space.

A spokesperson for planning group Holland Lloyd said:
