I WRITE this letter about the closure of Llantarnam Leisure Centre which has been closed for some time now, but the school is still open until term ends in the summer. It is or was a good leisure centre. OK, it’s not the Celtic Manor of centres, I grant you, but many people used it. When the school does close its doors for the last time this year the schoo, I guess the leisure centre will be demolished or blown sky high, the land will be sold off for lots off money for someone to build lots of houses and, in the long run, we will lose a good leisure centre. What a shame.
