works are scheduled for later in the year, with Central Coast Council set to replace the roof and eaves of the hall adjacent to the baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central Coast Council is also set to connect hot water to the hall and one shower in each of the male and female showers and replace the safety fencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Grant McBride Baths are free for the general public to use year round,
