The leisure centre has been closed since July

The swimming pool at Newbridge Leisure Centre, which has been closed since July for repairs and renovations, is close to reopening.

The renovation project included replacing air handling unit fans, which had to be custom-made outside of the UK, according to Caerphilly County Borough Council.

As well as the fans, the slide has also undergone a “full refurbishment”.

Council ‘doing everything possible’ to reopen leisure centre’s swimming pool

The council added how this additional maintenance means the pool will not need to close later this year.

Cllr Chris Morgan, cabinet member for leisure, said: “We understand the impact the extended closure has had on our community, and we sincerely appreciate everyone’s patience.

“The upgrades we’ve made, including the flume refurbishment, will enhance the pool’s facilities and ensure it remains a key part of our leisure services for years to come.

“We’re excited to welcome everyone back and thank our users for their continued support.”

An official reopening date is yet to be confirmed by the council.
