Torfaen Council is asking for ideas and views on the Cwmbran Placemaking Plan for the town centre.
It’s a ten-year plan with lots of ideas, including better public spaces, walking and cycling routes and more to do in the evenings.
The plan looks at five specific areas in the town centre: Eastern Strip, Gwent Square and Bus Station, Monmouth Square, General Rees Square, and the Canalside. The plan also highlights how a range of public, private and third sector funding could help bring the vision to life.
You can also give your feedback online . The deadline to give your input is 12pm on Wednesday 4 December.
Councillor Joanne Gauden, Executive Member for Economy, Skills and Regeneration, said: “We are excited to unveil the Placemaking Plan for Cwmbran town centre, which represents a bold vision for the future.
“This plan is not just about development; it’s about creating a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community space that meets the needs of residents and visitors alike. We encourage everyone to share their thoughts and help shape the future of our town centre.”
Placemaking Plans for Blaenavon and Pontypool were approved by councillors in 2022.
Last year, the council signed the Placemaking Charter for Wales which commits to involving communities in placemaking plans and sustainable development.
A separate vision and investment framework has also been drawn up as part of the UK Government’s Long-Term Vision for Towns programme. As part of the programme, £20m has been allocated to Cwmbran over the next ten years.
