Neath Port Talbot Council defers Afan Lido decision
Neath Port Talbot Council (NPTC) has deferred a decision on the multi-million pound Afan Lido development, which will provide a new leisure complex for residents in Aberavon.
The former Afan Lido was destroyed by fire in December 2009 and is to be replaced with an expansive new complex designed by Holder Mathias Architects under current plans.
A report put before NPTC cabinet members today (25 July) had recommended a new facility be built at the Hollywood Park site, rather than its former location on Aberavon Seafront.
Plans have also been altered to provide an eight-lane, 25m swimming pool - two more lanes than originally put forward - following calls from local campaigners.
Facilities will also include a teaching pool; a fitness suite with a free weights area; and a four-court sports hall, although proposed enterprise units will no longer form part of the complex.
However, a council spokesperson said: "The cabinet has deferred a decision on proposals for the new Afan Lido development to a Task and Finish Group of the relevant scrutiny committee.
"The terms of reference, membership and other arrangements in respect of the Task and Finish Group will be agreed as soon as possible."
