Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) – Neath Port Talbot Council statement

Neath Port Talbot councillors have been told that following a comprehensive review it is believed none of the county borough’s schools have RAAC. On Friday, September 1st, 2023, the Welsh Government confirmed that so far there have been “no reported cases” of the concrete in education buildings across the country.

However, it said it has commissioned a survey of “all state funded schools and colleges which will identify any structures suspected of containing Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete”.
