Caerphilly Labour AM Jeff Cuthbert has welcomed news that construction work is set to begin on a £2 million bus station as part of a regeneration scheme for Bargoed.
The improvements have been part-funded by Structural Funds from the European Union, for which Caerphilly County Borough qualifies. The new station will have five bays and improved pedestrian access.
Jeff Cuthbert AM said:
‘I am pleased that work is about to begin on what will no doubt be a very welcome development in Bargoed town centre.
‘The role of European Structural Funds in making sure this gets off the ground has been crucial. These funds can play a vital role in helping to regenerate places like Bargoed and can help lead to the creation of new jobs.
‘It is important that the Welsh Government and Caerphilly Council carry on working closely together so that we get the best deal for a historic town like Bargoed.’
