Final decision due on plans to expand Crownbridge school

The expansion is expected to cost £6.9 million, of which 75 per cent will be funded by the Welsh Government, and 25 per cent by Torfaen County Borough Council. A Torfaen council report said that the school has been oversubscribed for the last few years with some pupils being refused places. When students can’t be catered for within the county, some are being sent out to a private provider, which can cost the authority £90,000 a year compared to an in-house cost of £32,000. Crownbridge School was built with a capacity of 80, but the pressures of oversubscription has led to the repurposing of some specialist areas and meeting rooms to allow 95 pupils to be on the roll.

Police clampdown on illegal off road bikers in Torfaen

Mr Thomas-Symonds said: “We are truly blessed to live in as beautiful as part of the world as Torfaen, and to get to enjoy our internationally recognised scenery everyday. From the Blaenavon World Heritage Site, to Penyrheol, to Twmbarlwm, illegal off-road biking is causing great damage across Torfaen. This crime affects us all. It is an issue many constituents contact me about and I am pleased Gwent Police are taking action to tackle it. Their work is vital if we are to preserve Torfaen’s natural beauty for the next generation. Thank you to Gwent Police and crime commissioner, Jeff Cuthbert, and Gwent chief constable, Pam Kelly, for recognising the importance of this work, and thank you to officers from Gwent Police and Torfaen County Borough Council’s Community Safety and Cohesion Team for all their hard work as part of it.”
