Regional Profile Ebbw Vale & Blaenau Gwent
Regional Profile Ebbw Vale & Blaenau Gwent Content Ebbw Vale Overview of Ebbw Vale & Blaenau Economy of Ebbw Vale Gwent & Blaenau Gwent Workforce Skills Addressing Youth Unemployment Summary > > Overview of Ebbw Vale History Ebbw Vale is a town at the head of the valley formed by the Ebbw Fawr tributary of the Ebbw River in Wales. It is the largest town and the administrative centre of Blaenau Gwent county borough. Originally a rather insignificant spot in rural Monmouthshire with only about 120 inhabitants but at the end of the 18th century, Ebbw Vale—and the whole valley—was transformed by the Industrial Revolution. The Ebbw Vale Iron Works, later to become the Ebbw Vale Steelworks, opened in 1778, followed by the opening of a number of coal mines around 1790. At its height (1930s — 40s) the steel works in Ebbw Vale was the largest in Europe, although attracting very little attention from German bombers during World War II. By the 1960s around 14,500 people were employed in the works in and around Ebbw Vale, but the end of the century witnessed a massive collapse to the industry. A strike in 1980 was followed by closures and redundancies which resulted in the dismantling of many of the old plants. In 2002 only 450 were employed in the old industries, and by July of that year the final works closed. > Overview | Economy | Workforce Skills | Summary > Overview of Ebbw Vale Ebbw Vale Today The largest regeneration project in Wales is currently underway on the former Steelworks However, significant recent investment in Blaenau Gwent includes: site – including the opening of a new Learning Zone, Leisure Centre, housing, industry and The • Over £100 million for the Learning Works Scheme at The Gwent Archives. -

The area is now mainly Gwent Recorders’ Forum Meeting (Saturday 7th February 2009) years ago the area was seen as useless; it shows the need to keep the pressure on to conserve these important sites. Q. How much protection does an LNR get? LNR is a statutory designation and is generally safe, but as it is usually a council led process, it is therefore often difficult to designate sites wanted for development or other uses. Newport Wetland Reserve Kevin Dupé (CCW) The NNR is 2,000 acres including the foreshore, and is located just to the east of River Usk, Newport stretching three miles across the Gwent Levels. The land was purchased by Uskmouth Power Station for thirteen fly ash lagoons, and four farms were destroyed to create the lagoons in the 1950s-60s. How did the site go from a 5m thick layer of flyash to one of the most important reedbed habitats in South Wales? • Firstly, the site was restored back to agricultural use by rough grazing. Once the power station had shut in the 1980s, the land was sold to the Cardiff Bay Development Company. -
