Councillor Angela Gillingham, Head of Community Services for Stroud District Council, said: 

"We're delighted that the Lido will remain open until the end of September, giving residents and visitors extra opportunities to enjoy this much-loved community facility. Since reopening, it's been wonderful to see people back in the water and making the most of everything the Lido has to offer. We look forward to welcoming swimmers throughout the extended season, weather permitting."
