‘Abergavenny Community Spirit' has been distributed at the One Stop Shop, the library and various shops throughout the town. In addition, the newsletter has been distributed throughout Raglan.
Abergavenny’s regeneration scheme involves the proposed redevelopment of the current cattle market site into a supermarket, two-screen cinema, library, retail units, an underground car park and residential housing. This will bring 320 new jobs to the town.
In addition, it is planned that the Brewery Yard area will also undergo modernisation.
The first edition of the newsletter will include updates on a wide range of issues:
- Community involvement in Brewery Yard’s facelift
- The planning application for a new cattle market at Raglan
- How MCC is listening to road safety concerns at Raglan
- Possible de-trunking of the A40 in the centre of Abergavenny
- How MCC has secured finding to carry out a traffic assessment for the whole of the town.
Cabinet Member for the Environment, Cllr. Chris Woodhouse said:
“We hope that residents and traders alike will take the time to read this informative newsletter which aims to get across all the facts about the regeneration scheme. Over the next two years, we will be publishing further updates at least once every three months - right up to the very end of the project.”
