TENBY: Council compelled to spend £ 500,000 on faculty restore instantly

The Pambroxire County Council must spend solely half one million kilos on quick restore at Tenby Secondary School.

A survey performed in Ysgol Greenhill discovered 750 areas of concrete in “bad conditions”, with each brickwork and cracks in concrete slabs.

Council chief John Harvey authorized £ 555,946 to enhance the “external wall concrete frame failure” on the faculty.

The choice was printed in a extremely uncommon step on the council's web site on Wednesday afternoon.

The survey was performed in July 2024 by Contractor Trident Civil Engineering.

The defects had been monitored and re -evaluated throughout the second go to to the college in February 2025.

The firm mentioned the decline of concrete launched a “significant risk” that would hurt pedestrians and potential automobiles.

It states: “Some columns have lost enough structural mass to bring their integrity into question.

“We strongly suggest that these capabilities be categorised instantly and instantly as obligatory to revive security and suitability to be used.”

Funding for the work will come from the building maintenance store for the school capital program.

It is understood that most of the work will be done during school holidays, which means that students will not be affected by disintegration.

The issue is not related to reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), causing issues within many schools and buildings in the UK.

The Pembroxire County Council has been requested to remark.
