Your Views On Blaenau Gwent’s Town Centres Sought

Blaenau Gwent Council’s town centre managers want your views about the town centres and how they could be improved at a series of drop-in sessions.

The town centre manager for Ebbw Vale and Tredegar is Bethan Cartwright and for Abertillery, Blaina and Brynmawr it’s Karin Lamb.

They want to listen to what local people have to say about Abertillery, Blaina, Brynmawr, Ebbw Vale and Tredegar and about any developments in the towns, any queries or concerns they may have and any comments on how the areas could be improved.

The new drop-in to talk to the town centre managers sessions will initially run until Christmas.

Bethan Cartwright said:

“We want to be as accessible to businesses and local people as possible, which is why we are establishing this new service.

“Karin and myself are keen to gain more feedback from users of the towns in order to help them create better, more vibrant and sustainable town centres.”
