Croeserw Community Enterprise Centre opens for business

Croeserw's brand new Community Enterprise Centre has been officially opened to the public.

The facility, which has been part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Welsh Government, will provide flexible accommodation for community enterprises and small start-up businesses.

The centre also includes a wide range of community facilities such as dedicated youth rooms, an IT training area and workshops for construction and hair & beauty training courses.

Investment in the centre has been accompanied by a number of public realm improvements throughout the village, including gateway features, new footpaths, tree and shrub planting and a new children's play area at the site of the old community centre.

Cllr Ali Thomas, Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, said: "This is great news not only for Croeserw but the whole Afan Valley. The centre will be a great boost to the village, offering small business units and a much needed social and meeting place for local people".

Upcoming courses at the centre include 'Springboard to Care', construction, plastering, Basic Food Certificate, IT (iPads) and film making.
