These include:
- A new allotment site at Tunnel Row, Newbridge.
- Ground clearance and the creation of a footway connecting West End to the High Street, Blackwood.
- Ground improvements on land to the side of Leigh Club, Senghenydd.
- Attractive natural planting on overgrown land at the rear of Coronation Terrace, Pontymister.
- New allotment space off Mining School Hill, Crumlin.
Cllr Lyn Ackerman, cabinet member for public services and housing said: “This funding will help make a real difference to the environment in a number of communities across our county borough.”
‘Tidy Towns Tidy Places’ is a Welsh Government initiative, which aims to improve the quality of the local environment through community action.
