Abergwynfi and Blaengwynfi
Community Profile – Abergwynfi and Blaengwynfi Version 6 – will be updated and reviewed next on 29.05.20 The villages of Abergwynfi and Blaengwynfi are increasingly being regarded as one community, Gwynfi. They form the rural ward of Blaengwynfi. They lie approximately 11 miles from both the County towns of Port Talbot and Neath. The latest population figures are 1,338 inhabitants, this is an 11% drop since 2011 Census and Gwynfi have seen the biggest population drop of all villages in the Afan Valley. Gwynfi (like Glyncorrwg) has a younger population that average with high numbers of under 16 (21%). 10.2% of people have qualifications of Level 4 or above, as compared to NPT (20.8%) and Wales (29.7%). The twin villages lay in the North east of the Afan Valley, within forested hills, with Aerial view looking up the Bwlch Aerial view of Gwynfi looking down the some farmland. These former mining villages have limited facilities, and very poor from Gwynfi valley transport links. There are several small businesses, including a small factory that recycles waste products into industrial briquettes. Most villagers must look beyond the village for work, difficult without personal transport (only 40% have cars). There is a football team, a bowls team, and a very successful boxing club, which is one of a number of clubs and activities that run out of the local community run community centre. An unusual feature of the village is the former rail tunnel to the Rhondda Valley, the third longest in Wales, which is in the process of been restored as a cycle path. -
Community Profile – Treherbert, Blaencwm, Blaenrhondda, Tynewydd and Penyrenglyn
Quotes from the community Community Profile – Treherbert, Blaencwm, “Treherbert has something of a ‘do it yourself’ mentality born of Blaenrhondda, Tynewydd and Penyrenglyn relative geographic isolation. A vision to become Wales’ first ‘Forest Town’, the recently re-formed chamber of trade, and nearby developments including Zip World and the Rhondda Tunnel offer Overview Mural at Treherbert train station exciting opportunities.” – The Bevan Foundation 2020 Situated at the head of the Rhondda Fawr valley in the county borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf – these are former industrial coal “Many years ago, when I was a student in London I visited the Geology mining villages which were at their economic peak between Museum. I was astounded to see two pictures of Trehebert there. One of 1850 and 1920. Treherbert is the upper most community of the Penpych and the other the SSSI site of Cwmsaebren basin. Why was this Rhondda Fawr and encompasses the districts of Blaencwm, landscape, which I had taken so much for granted and now made me homesick, being given such prominence? What was dawning on me was that the Upper Blaenrhondda, Tynewydd and Pen-yr-englyn. Rhondda may be economically poor, but it is environmentally very rich. Now in Blaen-y-Cwm and Blaenrhondda are at the head the Rhondda 2021 we have the opportunity to address our poverty by using the Fawr valley. With Treherbert, Tynewydd, Blaencwm, environmental capital surrounding us for the benefit of the residents of the Upper Rhondda. By managing the forest that encircles us the Skyline project Blaenrhondda and Pen-yr-englyn it is part of a community of situated in the Old Library plans to harvest the forest to build sustainable Treherbert. -

Summer 2018 All Freetext Comments from Engagement Survey
Outcome of Engagement Report – Summer 2018 All freetext comments from engagement survey respondents I think that the new community hospital should be in or near Cinderford because: It is central to the forest It is the most accessible part of the forest when there is severe weather. It is a central location within the forest, with good connections to other areas of the forest and wider Gloucestershire. It would make transferring between hospitals easier for patients. as part of my work role I cover the Forest of Dean currently based at the Dilke, on a one hour response time I can be anywhere in the Forest within this time frame based in either Coleford or Cinderford its central to North Forest - Maisemore, Corse, etc. More of a community area. This seems a better option as it is central to the forest and would be accessible to many. it would be in our locality and easiest to reach. It has good communications and is closest to my locality ITS CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE FOD CATCHMENT AREA Cinderford is a central location for residents across the FOD, when you take in locations in the Forest such as Newent, Coleford or Lydney would be too far to travel. It is in the most central location, with reasonably good public transport. If it was in Lydney this would be difficult for some people to access, especially people from Newent and surrounding areas. It is situated centrally between Lydney and Gloucester Central to the Forest. Close to area of high deprivation who may otherwise struggle to access healthcare. -
