Bridgend County Labour Councillors

We said we'd invest in our parks and play areas - and we're getting on with the job.

It's great to see the refurbished play area on Wordsworth Avenue in Cefn Glas now complete, giving local children and families a safer, more enjoyable place to play.

This is part of our wider commitment to improve play facilities right across Bridgend County Borough. By investing in our communities and the spaces people use every day, we're helping to make Bridgend an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

Today across Bridgend, we commemorate 82 years since the Normandy landings, beginning the liberation of Western Europe.

We honour the bravery and sacrifice of all those who fought and defeated fascism.

We will remember them.

🚧 More investment in our roads.

Cllr.John Spanswick is in Brackla West Central, where resurfacing work has recently been completed near the Triangle Roundabout as part of more than £250,000 of road improvements in the local area.

We know well-maintained roads matter to residents, which is why Labour is continuing to invest in repairs and resurfacing across Bridgend County Borough - with more improvements still to come.

For a long time, Labour councillors in Bridgend have been campaigning to protect services at Maesteg Hospital and secure fair healthcare provision for our communities.

Tomorrow, the health board meets to discuss the future of community beds and local facilities. Bridgend County currently has no community beds at all - and local people deserve better.

Deputy Leader Jane Gebbie has been standing up for Bridgend communities and calling for fair, accessible care closer to home.
