Ebbw Vale is a substantial market town located on the Heads of the Valleys Road with a population of 20,400 and a district population of c.85,000.
Making Ebbw Vale the largest town in Blaenau Gwent. The town sits 20 miles north of Newport and 26 miles north-east of Cardiff. Ebbw Vale is benefitting from massively improved transport links - which have just been finished.
The town sits on the A465 Heads of the Valleys Road, which has benefitted from a£225M upgrade creating a dual carriageway linking Neath in the west with Abergavenny in the east. The A465 also provides access to the A40, connecting to the West Midlands via the M50 and M5 motorways and also the M4 via the A470 dual carriageway.
The second major transport initiative is the £70M completion of the Ebbw Vale Railway. After a 60 year gap Ebbw Vale now has a direct rail link to Newport and Cardiff. With up to 30 direct trains a day between Ebbw Vale Town and Newport and an hourly service to Cardiff Central (58 mins).
These and other regeneration initiatives are transforming Ebbw Vale's economy. The Ebbw Vale Enterprise Zone is attracting new businesses to the area and the Welsh Government's Local Growth Fund is investing millions into the town, creating schemes like The Walk, which is a redevelopment of the steelworks, with £150M + spent transforming the site into a new Learning Campus - including a new primary and secondary school, HE College a new General Hospital, leisure units, sports pitches, business parks and the new Ebbw Vale Parkway Railway & Bus Station.
Off the back of these initiatives Ebbw Vale is experiencing a boom in new housing - with over 400 new homes recently built or currently under development - in a mix of private and social housing - including net zero ready homes - with schemes by Persimmon, Lovell Homes, Pendragon and United Welsh.
