Works will include redecoration of the pool hall, an upgrade to glazing in the viewing area, a replacement ceiling, an LED lighting upgrade and installation of new air handling units.

“I’d like to thank visitors to Chepstow Leisure Centre for their patience while work continues and I’m pleased that these refurbishments will provide an improved service to users of the leisure centre.  I’m also glad that many of the measures implemented will result in improved energy efficiency and reduction in carbon emissions,” said Councillor Lisa Dymock, Monmouthshire’s cabinet member with responsibility for MonLife.

Scheduled to start in October, the pool is expected to re-open in January.
