Torfaen Council's delivery plan hits targets
A report to a recent full council meeting showed that nearly three quarters of the delivery plan targets for 2024 to 2025 were either on target or have been completed.
One project, informed by last year's Play Sufficiency Assessment, has seen the council launch new sensory rooms across the borough, which have welcomed more than 50 children helping them build confidence and lifelong learning foundations.
Other projects highlighted in the report include a new school for Maendy Primary pupils, a 50-place extension at Crownbridge School and 3G pitch at Ysgol Gymraeg Gwynllyw.
A new specialist residential home for young people in care has also opened, with plans for two more.
David Leech, the council's deputy chief executive and strategic director for adults and communities, said: "Our ambition remains to be to be an outstanding and aspirational council. For the third consecutive year, our services have met the majority of the targets set.
"We have rigorous project management to ensure any targets that weren't met within the time frame continue to progress, and I'm proud of what this council and its staff have achieved."
The County Plan is a five-year strategy setting out the council's long-term service goals, supported by annual delivery plans which are monitored quarterly to track progress.
