Exciting plans are in the works for a new leisure spot in Caerphilly county! A proposal has been put forward to transform a unit at the Penmaen industrial estate in Pontllanfraith into a buzzing mixed-use space. Imagine an indoor air rifle range, pool and electronic gaming zones, plus a burger restaurant and dessert café – all in one place!
The planned 30-yard air rifle range promises strict safety protocols, with under-18s only allowed under supervision and parental consent. The range will be open daily from 9am to 10pm, accommodating six people at a time.
This development isn’t just about fun; it’s an opportunity to boost the local economy by creating 10 new jobs. The application highlights how it could enhance local leisure, employment, and community wellbeing.
Some may wonder why this isn’t in the town centre. That’s because thorough searches in Blackwood town centre turned up no suitable locations. Plus, industrial estates offer a more secure environment for such facilities, similar to other spots across England.
Council planners are currently reviewing the proposal. Keep your eyes open for updates on whether this unique attraction will become a go-to spot for fun in the area! 💡🍔🏹
