No further details on what the issues that have caused the delay in opening have been revealed.
Today (Tuesday) the rink remains closed – and now the city council have said it will finally open tomorrow (Wednesday) – six days after it was originally meant to open to the public.
A council spokesperson said it was believed all the technical issues had been sorted – and the delayed opening had not cost the authority any extra money, as the rink was being operated by Dash Events.

The rink is scheduled to be open until early January.
The Peterborough Telegraph has contacted Dash Events for comment, however they have not responded.
