'Compromise' reached on future of three leisure centres
Merthyr Express
|May 22, 2025
SENIOR councillors have compromised on plans to shut down three leisure centres following "robust" opposition.
-
Of the three sites in Caerphilly county, Cefn Fforest and New Tredegar leisure centres have avoided the axe and will now remain open, but with reduced hours.
However, the leisure centre in Bedwas will close, as previously proposed, when a new site opens in Caerphilly town.
That £38m project, currently under construction, is expected to be completed in 2027.
Cabinet members met last week to decide the fate of the three leisure centres, having suffered a setback earlier in the week when backbench councillors refused to support the proposed closures in Cefn Fforest and New Tredegar.
