Caerau Community Projects | Sports & Well-being initiatives
Published: 28 November 2024
The Resilient Communities Team at Bridgend County Borough Council in partnership with Noddfa Youth and Community Project, and Llynfi BMX Racing Club, are working together on a feasibility study, and are excited to present two potential projects for Caerau — and we need your input to make them a reality!
To ensure these potential future improvements reflect the local community’s needs, we warmly invite you to join us at our upcoming consultation events. We’d love to hear your thoughts on two key facility enhancements being considered:
- Constructing an all-weather sports facility on the former Blaencaerau School site
- Upgrading the existing Llynfi BMX Track and adding new facilities
Event details:
Event 1: Sharing ideas an all-weather sports facility
-
Date: Tuesday 3 December 2024
-
Time: 4:00pm – 7:00pm
-
Location: Noddfa, 77 Caerau Road, CF34 0PB
We’re exploring options for internal and external sports and activities area where children and young people can play all year-round.
Come share your thoughts on what an all-weather facility could look like!
Event 2: Envisioning the future of the BMX track
-
Date: Sunday 8 December 2024
-
Time: 9:30am – 1:00pm
-
Location: Llynfi BMX Racing Club, CF34 0TW
Our vision is to transform the Llynfi BMX Racing Club into one of the top BMX facilities in the UK. This would involve upgrades to the existing track, the addition of new biking facilities like a pump track and skate park, and improvements to amenities, including a café and restrooms.
Why your voice matters
While funding for these projects hasn’t yet been secured, we’re committed to building a compelling case to pursue future grants. By gathering community input now, we’ll be well-prepared to submit a strong funding bid when the opportunity arises.
We very much hope you can join us for one of these sessions. Your participation will help us build a strong case for the need for these enhancements to the local area.
Feedback
Feedback on these improvement projects can be given via our online feedback form, open until 22 December. Or in person at the events.
In the meantime, you can find out more about the project by visiting the project websites:
