HOUSE owners in the Harlech area could see their council tax bills increase by £24 a year to keep the leisure centre open.

That’s the proposal put forward by members of Harlech & Ardudwy Leisure who are currently visiting the community councils in the area to discuss a financial package of support in order to secure the centre for years to come.

A written proposal has been submitted to the councils of Talsarnau, Harlech, Llanfair, Dyffryn Ardudwy & Talybont and Barmouth which consists of a request to increase the precept so that local residents contribute an additional amount of money through their yearly council tax bill which would then be passed on to the community council.
