Corwen Pavilion can now reopen after it was closed last week over concerns of the condition of asbestos surrounding a broken heating duct in the building.
Tests were carried out over the weekend by J.B Monitor, asbestos contractors, who found that levels of asbestos are within permitted limits. Three bulk samples taken from the roof void have all come back negative and air samples that were taken were all below 0.01F/ML. Safety certificates will now be issued.
The issue of the heating duct leak still remains and will have to be investigated and repaired by Denbighshire’s building maintenance team, which will result in a further closure for a short time.
Head of Leisure Services, Jamie Groves, said: “This is extremely good news.
“Contractors and Denbighshire officers have worked hard over the weekend to establish whether there has been any risk to the public and these positive results are very welcome.”
“We will now continue to work with the Corwen Pavilion User’s Forum to look at both short term and longer term options for the site.”
