Pontardawe swimming pool has been an integral part of our community. It's not just a place to swim, but a hub for local clubs, schools and activities. The Pontardawe swimming pool is more than just an amenity - it's part of our identity in the Swansea valley.

Unfortunately, our beloved swimming pool is nearing its end. In less than two years' time, it will close as it is economically unrepairable. This leaves us with an urgent need to ensure that Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) replaces the existing facility once it closes.

The loss of this facility would be devastating for our community. It serves as a vital resource for local schools and activities and is well-utilised by various swimming clubs and residents alike.

We urge NPTCBC to consider the significant impact that losing this amenity would have on Pontardawe and the wider Swansea valley area. We understand budget constraints but believe that investing in a new swimming pool will benefit not only current residents but future generations as well.

Let us stand together as one community united in preserving what makes Pontardawe special - its sense of camaraderie, unity and shared spaces like our cherished swimming pool. Please sign this petition today to show your support for securing a new swimming pool in Pontardawe.
