Pillgwenlly Regeneration
Pillgwenlly Regeneration is a collaborative initiative aimed at revitalising the Pillgwenlly area of
Newport, focussing on enhancing the community's infrastructure, housing, and public spaces to
foster a more prosperous and inclusive environment.
• Community‐Driven Masterplan: Developed through extensive consultations with residents
and businesses, the masterplan emphasises building upon the area's strengths rather than
focusing solely on its challenges. It outlines strategic intentions to guide future
developments and ensure they align with the community's aspirations.
• Housing Improvements: Redesign and refurbishment of existing homes to provide
improved layout and cohesive neighbourhoods brought about through transitional
accommodation capital programme funding.
• Infrastructure Enhancements: Upgrade of local infrastructure, including resurfacing roads,
creating shared spaces, and enhancing landscaping and green spaces.
• Community Facilities and Services: The regeneration plan includes the development of new
community facilities, such as youth centres and public spaces, to support social cohesion
and provide residents with accessible services.
• Economic Development: Initiatives to stimulate local economic growth, including strategies
to support small businesses and reduce the number of vacant commercial properties. These
efforts aim to create a vibrant local economy that benefits residents and attracts visitors.
