In 2005, Caerphilly County Borough Council in
partnership with the former Welsh Developmen
Agency (WDA) appointed Atkins Consultants to
prepare a "Newbridge Master Plan".The final
"Master Plan” was just that - a comprehensive p
of action designed to regenerate and revitalise th
key areas of the town.The plan particularly high-
lighted the division between the town, school an
Leisure centre, the traffic dominated High Street
and the neglected landmark buildings such as the
Memorial Hall & Institute and the Newbridge
Hotel, as the principal problems to tackle.
The Atkins Masterplan is one of a number of pla
and strategies produced over the last decade co
cerning the regeneration of the town: |
