MP makes a splash at opening of Peterborough Lido

Peterborough MP Paul Bristow made a splash at the opening of the city Lido at the weekend.

The popular attraction opened for the first time this year on Saturday - and the chilly spring weather meant there was a small but keen crowd going for their first outdoor swim of the year.

One of the first to take the plunge was Peterborough MP Paul Bristow - who was pushed into the pool by former Mayor of Peterborough John Peach.

The Lido will now be open throughout the spring and summer - with some early morning spots open.

Later in the season, opening hours will be extended.
