We would like to clarify the situation and dispel some of the rumours that are currently circulating on social media.
Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is confident that services at Aberfan Community Centre will continue beyond 1st April 2024.
Over recent months the council has been working with Wellbeing Merthyr on the managed end of the existing contract.
Our aim and priority is to keep all leisure facilities open, including Aberfan Community Centre.
We have appointed an alternative provider which has considerable experience within the leisure industry and meetings are ongoing to facilitate the handover of the leisure centres.
Aberfan Community Centre is owned by Aberfan Trust and therefore there are some additional legal hurdles that we face in order to transfer the facility to the new provider, however we are working through those as quickly as possible.
We have reached out to Wellbeing Merthyr and the Aberfan Trustees to ensure the seamless continuation of service at the centre.
We will endeavour to update all our residents as we make progress with this.
