Images from inside Pontardawe Swimming Pool show the shocking amounts of deterioration to the site's supporting walls and pillars, which led to its immediate closure last week.
The Pontardawe pool was closed with immediate effect on Wednesday, November 30, after the discovery of serious defects relating to a void around the training pool and columns under spectator seating, as well as further deterioration of the structural concrete in pool tank walls, concrete soffits, and external concrete walls.
More worryingly, it appears some of these issues were first highlighted by building surveyor Arup eight years ago in a similar report which was carried out in 2014. You can get more Pontardawe news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
