There is anger in Pontardawe today and concern from a councillor after serious defects resulted in the immediate closure of the town's swimming pool. It has been revealed that some of the issues first highlighted EIGHT years ago in a report in 2014 are still outstanding.
Councillors in Neath Port Talbot have approved funding for repair work at Pontardawe Swimming Pool this week, estimated to be worth around £141,000 over two years. The funding will allow for emergency works to be carried out so that the well-used pool can be re-opened in January of 2023.
But it has been stated that the repairs will only be a temporary and short term solution for the site, with the work extending the life of the pool for a maximum of just two years.
