Three more communities have joined the Invest Local programme. Maesgeirchen (Gwynedd), Caerau (Bridgend) and Hubberston and Hakin (Pembrokeshire) are the latest communities to be part of the scheme.

Cefn Golau in Blaenau Gwent is the third community in Wales to join Invest Local.

Llwynhendy in Carmarthenshire has become the second Welsh community to join the Invest Local programme.

The village of Penywaun in Rhondda Cynon Taf is the first community to agree to become involved in Invest Local.

Over the next few weeks myself, colleagues and – most importantly – residents of a dozen or so small communities across Wales will take the first steps in breaking new ground.

Hello, and welcome to BCT. We’re really excited to be starting out with a shiny new website, and a team of staff ready to deliver our Invest Local programme.
