Council statement on Cyfarthfa Castle

The Council is aware that there is a petition circulating online to ‘save Cyfarthfa Castle from destruction’.

A report on the proposed redevelopment of Cyfarthfa Castle was presented to Full Council on Wednesday 5^th February, which outlined plans for a phased approach to restore and preserve the fabric of the building, and included information on the work carried out to-date.

We want to reassure all residents that the redevelopment of the castle is a priority for the Council. This is a huge project which will be ongoing for a number of years, but we are committed to ensuring that the castle is fully restored and protected.

We are working closely with the Cyfarthfa Foundation to secure the funding needed to ensure the castle remains a beacon of the past for future generations to come.
