Torfaen Council seeks Welsh Government funding for £7.3m school revamp
What happened
Torfaen Borough Council is seeking funding from the Welsh Government for a school revamp in Croesyceiliog. The project, which costs no more than £7.3 million, involves demolishing temporary classrooms and building new extensions to connect three sections of Ysgol Bryn Onnen in Varteg, Pontypool. The council plans to commit up to £2.5 million from its capital budget to meet the required 35 per cent share of the costs.
Why it matters
The project represents a significant infrastructure investment in the area. The council's commitment of £2.5 million from its capital budget and the request for 65 per cent of the costs from the Welsh Government relate to public funding and local infrastructure spending.
