The swimming pool at Newbridge Leisure Centre will remain closed due to mechanical issues.

Caerphilly County Borough Council has said it is “doing everything” it can to get the pool back open “as soon as possible”.

The council has said the issue is with the pool’s air handling unit, with custom-made replacement parts ordered.

In a statement, the council said: “We are working closely with our suppliers to expedite the manufacturing and installation process.

“Every effort is being made to resolve the issue as swiftly as possible, and we are committed to reopening the swimming pool under optimal conditions.”

Cllr Chris Morgan, cabinet member for leisure, said: “We understand how important the swimming pool is to our community and the disruption this closure may cause.

“Please know that we are doing everything possible to ensure the swimming pool is back up and running as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience and look forward to welcoming you back soon.”

The council has apologised for the inconvenience but said it is “optimistic” about welcoming back swimmers “in the near future”.
