"We have been advised that the anticipated date for the reopening of the pools will be after the Easter break," it said. Tess Riley, who was taking her daughter Ruby for a swimming lesson, was at the pool when the venue was evacuated.Newham Council said its environmental health officers were investigating the leak.
