Exciting times ahead for Tonypandy! 🚀 Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is gearing up with fantastic plans to breathe new life into the town centre, and they want your thoughts. With nearly £20m in UK Shared Prosperity Funding, these plans are big!
Here’s what’s on the table:
🌿 Sprucing up Gelli Road with new green spaces and memorial garden upgrades.
🚴♂️ More active travel facilities to make cycling and walking easier.
🏘️ Enhancing derelict high street properties.
🚉 Making the town’s gateways like bus and train stations more welcoming.
They’re teaming up with local businesses through a new Business Improvement District (BID) to make all of this happen, aiming to attract future investment and set the stage for a vibrant town centre.
But it’s not just about the plans – it’s about creating a Tonypandy that’s welcoming, connected, celebrates its rich history, and is filled with thriving businesses. Imagine living among local shops, with spots to gather for arts, events, and just good old community spirit.
Want to have your say? The council’s consultation runs until October 3rd. Pop by their stand at the Friday market on August 15th or September 5th, or visit the exhibition at Tonypandy Library. Prefer to share your thoughts online? Check out RCT Let’s Talk website for more info.
