I was really excited to learn that the plans for the former Burberry in Treorci are going ahead. This is real welcome news for the Rhondda, and a major boost for the area.
I met with the developers when the plans were in their early stages and gave this project my total support. Following our meeting I raised the issue of European funding with Ieuan Wyn Jones, the Deputy First Minister, and I’m really pleased that he was able to secure that funding, and help progress this much-needed project in these very difficult times.
I hope this will be a springboard for the community to develop the local economy further, and move towards a more sustainable future. I wish the project every success.
