Earlier this year, Caerphilly county borough council unveiled an ambitious blueprint for the future of the area, which included exciting investment proposals totalling more than half a billion pounds. The Leader of Council, Cllr Philippa Marsden, is now fronting an eye-catching campaign that shows in detail how the council’s exciting investment strategy, called the Place Shaping plan, is already changing the lives of residents across the county borough. In total, the Place Shaping plan will deliver more than £500million of investment across all parts of the county borough.
The money is split into three distinct parts:
- £153 million – the amount spent so far between 2017 and 2020 on major investment packages including new school developments, highway improvements including Pwllypant roundabout, council house improvement as part of WHQS and investment in 3G pitches.
- £129 million – investment currently underway on agreed projects such as demolition of properties on Hafodyrynys Hill, Chartist Garden housing development, WHQS improvements and leisure facilities including a new running track in Oakdale and additional 3G pitch investment.
- £231 million - Planned investment for the future involving a wide range of proposals that will be subject to consultation and engagement with the community as park of the Place Shaping conversation.
