MBACT Response to the Draft Lower Ebbw and Sirhowy Valleys Masterplan

We recently responded to Caerphilly County Borough Council’s consultation on their “Draft Lower Ebbw and Sirhowy Valleys Masterplan”.

You can find more information and a copy of the masterplan here on Caerphilly’s website: https://www.caerphilly.gov.uk/involved/Consultations/draft-lower-ebbw-and-sirhowy-valleys-masterplan

We are disappointed that Caerphilly CBC are not utilising the huge potential of the canal.

“Whilst the potential of the canal has been mentioned there are no specific initiatives, or commitments to seek grant aid and/or partner with the private sector to maximise the canal’s potential.”
