08/08/11 A new water system is being installed at Sunderland's dry ski centre, after the legionella bacterium was found.

Silkworth Sports Complex was closed in June after higher than normal levels of bacteria were found during routine monitoring.

The bug can lead to Legionnaires' disease, a potentially fatal form of pneumonia.

Work on a new system to minimise the risk of future contamination is due to be completed by the end of August.
