Cwmbran Regeneration
Cwmbran is located in the Southeast corner of Wales, around twenty miles from the capital city of Cardiff. It is unique in the region, as it is the first and only designated new town in South Wales. Since its designation, the town has grown and developed and is now a thriving location, with nearly 50,000 inhabitants.
In 1949, the then Minister for Town and Country Planning, John Silken, designated an area of 31,000 acres surrounding the village of Cwmbran to be the first new town in Wales.
Now 50 years on parts of the town are in need of renovation. Through various public and private partnerships the aim of the Cwmbran Project Team is to set out a 15 year strategy for the regeneration and development of the new town, and begin its implementation.
