Caerphilly County Borough Council is asking residents to give their views on "ambitious" regeneration plans for Blackwood town and the surrounding area.

The ‘Draft Greater Blackwood Masterplan’ identifies development and regeneration opportunities in the area.  

It seeks to strengthen the economy and improve cultural, environmental and social conditions for residents and visitors.  

The Masterplan sets out proposed objectives to achieve this, including protecting and enhancing greater Blackwood’s status as a sub-regional employment centre.

Establishing Blackwood town centre as a sub-regional hub that is attractive, accessible and busy during the day and at night. Expanding and diversifying the visitor economy.

Improving transport links within and beyond greater Blackwood. Promoting wellbeing by enhancing or creating sustainable community facilities. Providing housing that will meet local needs in sustainable locations.

Paper copies of the survey are also available at public libraries in the masterplan area.

The consultation will close at midnight on Wednesday, February 14.
