Work has begun on the next phase of Ferndale’s ongoing regeneration programme.

Rhondda Cynon Taf Council staff and contractors are now on scene in the town centre to complete phase two of the regeneration works on three key sites.

The commencement of works comes just months after residents, businesses and stakeholders were given the chance to see for themselves how their new-look town centre could appear during public consultation and exhibitions.

The work will be coordinated by the council’s Construction Projects Unit, delivering the plans and vision created for the town by its residents, representatives and the council's Regeneration and Planning directorate.

It is further proof of the ongoing investment in the town centre, which has its own far-reaching regeneration strategy that is being delivered to ensure it remains an attractive, vibrant place to live, work and visit.

Cllr Paul Cannon, Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Housing, said: "We are committed to the delivery of the Ferndale Regeneration Strategy and hope the start of this work is further proof of that.

"Investment in Ferndale town centre has been consistent and apparent for a number of years now and we hope that residents, businesses and visitors alike are benefiting from the work that has been delivered.

"It is important to remember that the investment we are delivering is based on what those in the town have told us they want to see and we remain open and ready for consultation with them on what more can be done."
