Improvements to the Strand Blaengarw

The Garw Valley Community Council has now taken over the management of the green space at The Strand, Blaengarw.

Following a successful application by GVCC to BCBC we received 50% match funding to replace the walls, steps and handrail at this location and in addition, from GVCC funds, we’re installed 3 new benches, 3 new bins, a 3 tier planter, a Tommy silhouette and have planted the two previously unplanted flower beds with spring bulbs.  Our contractor has also carried out tree maintenance work and planted grass seed where the grass was damaged during construction. In the summer we will add two hanging baskets to the lighting columns to the front of the park.

Going forward GVCC will be responsible for the site including grass cutting, shrub maintenance and litter bin emptying.
