Cardiff Labour Council has announced its new plans to upgrade Pentwyn Leisure Centre.

The initial plans had to be revisited due to budgetary pressures following the catastrophic Tory mini-budget whose legacy we all having to live with. I’m pleased that following representations from local Labour councillor, Jess Moultrie, a way forward has been secured that includes a swimming pool.

The scheme would see the centre benefit from:

• A new 20m x 8m pool, heated by a ground source heat pump.
• A new cafeteria.
• A new fitness gym on the ground floor.
• A new full-sized 3G pitch and mini pitch.
• A refurbished family-changing facility.
• A new hall and external space which could be leased to a third partner – potentially to create an area for padel tennis on site.
• Roof mounted solar panels.
