EU grant boost for Bargoed business

News | | Published: 12:00, Tuesday April 14th, 2015.

A local business has become the first in Bargoed to receive financial support from Caerphilly County Borough Council’s new EU-backed ‘Building Improvement Grant’ scheme.

Carl Walbyoff, of Fairview Trade Sales, successfully applied for funding to refurbish his car sales premises on Under Cardiff Road, Bargoed to help improve the appearance of the showroom.

The Building Improvement Grant scheme, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through Welsh Government, offers financial support of up to 75%, and has attracted significant interest from businesses in Bargoed and Newbridge.

Cllr Ken James, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Sustainable Development, said: “This successful Building Improvement Grant scheme has helped refurbish a key retail premises at the gateway to Bargoed town centre. Both the Bargoed and Newbridge regeneration projects are successfully improving the streetscene and now commercial property owners have the opportunity to enhance their own buildings.

    Newbridge got a road blocked off for a month, we got banging and clanking on the railway line at 11 pm at night it is a nightmare at the moment.
    All the businesses will go down the pan before they get a grant on their shops.

    Newbridge doesn’t want cobbled stones under the railway bridge that are lethal in the rain and snow just tarmac.

    Road blocked off from yesterday and two car bumps by newbridge labour club already. The road by the labour club cannot take the volume of traffic.

    A bus swerved around a metal sign which made a car land on top of one of the black balls because it tried to get out of the way of the bus.

    Oh! Happy Days!!!

  • A new health board initiative is changing the way menopause care is delivered in GP surgeries across Gwent. The Menopause Champions Project, introduced in June this year by Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, aims to give patients going through menopause better access to informed and consistent support from their local practice teams. The scheme was developed by Dr Jayne Forrester-Paton, a menopause and sexual and reproductive health specialist, alongside Dr Michelle Olver, clinical lead of the menopause team, and nurse consultant Nikki Noble. Together, they set out to equip GPs and practice nurses with up-to-date knowledge and practical tools to improve care. So far, 41 GP practices in the region now have a trained “Menopause Champion” — a clinician who can provide advice and guidance on both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options. These champions are backed by a network of colleagues and specialists to help them stay confident in managing more complex cases. Dr Forrester-Paton said the project had already made a strong start and would continue to grow: “We are proud of how successful this project has been so far and will continue to grow, with plans to expand educational sessions for clinicians, offer virtual case discussions to improve care for complex menopause cases and strengthen the collaboration between primary care and specialist menopause services. “The Menopause Champions Project is helping to ensure that menopause is treated with the same care and attention as any other health issue, giving patients the support they need, when they need it.”
