Placemaking Cowbridge

The Story so Far

The Creative Communities team are leading the Placemaking activity on behalf of the Vale of Glamorgan Council. Meetings between the Creative Communities team and Cowbridge Town Council began last year.

We’ve been meeting on a regular basis to develop our joint approach to Placemaking in Cowbridge. We agreed which community events we needed to attend, and an engagement strategy was agreed to make sure that as many residents of Cowbridge as possible would have the chance to share their views about what it’s like to live in Cowbridge and their ideas about what changes could be made to make Cowbridge a sustainable town for the future.

Officers and Members from the Town Council have met with community groups across the town and Vale and Town Council Officers have also organised several residents’ drop-in events in local venues. We’ve also been out and about talking to residents in the shopping centre and in local venues like the Leisure Centre.

In November the Draft Placemaking Plan was shared with local residents through an exhibition of information panels outlining the purpose of the plan, the vision and objectives for Cowbridge and the opportunity areas where projects or interventions are proposed. A pdf of these panels can be downloaded from the right hand side of this page. Many people came to see the exhibition which was held for one day at the Town Hall and then for six days at the Old Hall. We have collated all the feedback received during those days, as well as from the online survey which was online here until November 25th.

Thank you to everyone who gave feedback on the draft plans. We will now prepare a final document and will update this page when it is ready.
