"CAMPAIGNERS trying to save their swimming pool from closure have taken their fight to the National Assembly.

A petition of more than 1,600 names, calling for Edwardsville pool in Treharris, Merthyr Tydfil, to remain open, was handed in yesterday by schoolchildren, parents and grandparents.

The Welsh Liberal Democrat leader Mike German AM accepted it on behalf of the Assembly Petitions Committee.

Merthyr council intends to close both Edwardsville and Gwaunfarren pools when a new state-of-the-art facility, including three pools, opens at Rhydycar next summer."
