In his monthly column in the Pontypridd Observer Owen Smith MP gives a brief update on two issues that the Welsh Lib Dems locally have been concerned about for a long time
"First, the baths. The business case for redevelopment is progressing positively and I was delighted to see Labour council colleagues ruling out any closure of the small pool.
"Secondly, the precinct. I am in regular contact with developers and am told plans are on track. Over £6m funding has been secured for the next phase and construction should begin before the end of August,"
I hope this turns out to be the case. We have been campaigning on the paddling pool issue for some time, and the change of heart by Russell Roberts came very late - just before the May election in fact. Still we have been waiting far too long for redevelopment of the Lido. Let's hope we don't have to wait too much longer.
Rumours have been rife regarding the precinct development - mainly that they have failed to attract enough businesses to the project. This seems to dispel those rumours and again if it the case is good news at last.
