Exciting news for Kenfig Hill! 🎉 Bridgend County Borough Council has given the go-ahead for a brand new 420-place primary school in the village. The multi-million-pound project involves replacing the former Mynydd Cynffig Junior School and a nearby Air Training Corps facility, promising a fresh start with amazing new facilities.
The upcoming primary school will feature two all-weather sports pitches, play areas, and plenty of open space for little ones to enjoy. Plus, it will include a 75-place nursery, perfect for the younger ones. The development is designed with the community in mind, spread across three phases, ensuring that it caters to all local needs.
An interesting bit—while there were initial concerns from residents about noise and parking, adjustments have been made to the plans. Floodlighting has been removed, and although some parking time restrictions will be enforced, streets near Pwllygath Street’s local garage will still offer parking.
In addition, the much-loved Pwllygath allotments will be relocated close to the new school site, preserving a cherished community tradition in a brand-new setting.
It’s a unanimous decision by the planning committee, cementing the commitment to providing top-notch educational facilities for the next generation. 🏫📚 Stay connected for more updates and share your thoughts about this exciting development in Kenfig Hill!
