ABERYSTWYTH’S long-awaited new bandstand is now expected to be completed in February — six months later than the initial anticipated completion date.

It was reported in the Cambrian News last week that just days after Haverfordwest contractors, WB Griffiths & Sons Ltd had hoped to finish construction, a window at the rear of the new bandstand became open and water could be seen rushing in.

Ceredigion County Council have this week confirmed construction has not been completed and predict the structure will be finished in February after missing previous deadlines in August, October and December.

A county council spokesperson said the delays to the bandstand were due to a mixture of bad weather and “contractor difficulties”.
