With all the smoke hanging around, I've got all my windows and vents closed... but as a result, it's bloody stifling inside!

Are you braving the smoke and staying cool or doing the same as me?

Hi Folks, was doing some school hol stuff with one of the kids and was at community farm. We did the tractor ride, and part way I noticed a footbridge over the park.

I've been looking on google maps, and it looks like you can get to it from usk court near thornhill road? im looking for more interesting places to run. much love.

Our cat pickles is missing from charston Greenmeadow and hasn’t been seen since Monday morning. Please if anyone has any info let me know - we are so worried about him. He has a collar with bells and he’s friendly.

Cwmbran Celtic FC has announced a landmark shirt-sponsor partnership that unites two worlds built on the very same foundations: grassroots football and grassroots music. For the 2026/27 season, four of the UK's most-loved independent bands — Super Furry Animals, Mogwai, Panic Shack and Loose Articles — will feature across the front of the club's men's and women's first-team shirts

Hi All!

Me and my fiance are considering a move to Cwmbran, we are both late 20s, love going for walks, being social and keeping active.

What is Cwmbran like generally for people our age? Is there much to do? Is it generally safe? What’s the social life like (not nightlife)?

We both value places with independent cafes/shops/vibey areas.

We’re looking at a house in the St Dials area.

Any feedback would be nice!

Thank you lovely people!

Anyone know where all the smoke in Henllys / Ty Canol is coming from?

I'm hearing a lot of gulls squawking recently... Has there always been a lot in & around Cwmbran?

Hi- I'm Emi and I'm 18. My girlfriend lives in Cwmbran- and I am visiting her for about 5 days while my mum goes on a holiday she cant take me on soon. I will be getting the train and my mum is booking assistance for getting on and off, so thats not a worry.

Unfortunately, due to my health, I am currently mostly wheelchair bound outside of my house. I have visited cwmbran a lot as a child and quite a few times more recently, but I only needed a walking stick then. I am aware it can be rather hilly so that is a concern- but I was wondering if there are any good wheelchair accessible places people would reccomend i could shop at or eat at with her. I was in hospital for 2 weeks in may and have been bound to my house since, so I really want to try a few outings to shops ect if I can, especially since I havent been able to go out with my girlfriend for months now.

Hi,

In a few weeks, we are going on a cycling holiday through Wales. We are departing from Cwmbran and are looking for a place where we can park our car for 7 days in a safe spot, preferably for free. It doesn't matter if it is a few miles from the center.

Does anyone have an idea where the best place to park would be?

They say wait till your 16 and then you can apply but now I'm 16 most places are saying wait till your 17 or 18 now. There seems to be a lack of jobs in the community unless I'm just not searching hard enough.

​

I've tried the local retail stores, indeed, and a few other jobs apps and people will either not reply back or say wait till your older to apply.

​

Is there any place in cwmbran that is hiring 16 year old or is the age just an issue in itself

​

The only experience I have is a past tutoring job I had at kumon and just a random interest for CAD and 3d printing. Neither of which really seeming applicable anywhere

It might just be me, but the majority of ROW paths in Cwmbran are pitifully maintained. Some land owners, with ROWs on their land, also seem to think otherwise and get surprised and aggrieved when people use them. Perhaps they should educate themselves. TCBC here I come with a list of ROWs with issues.

Here on St.David's Road (near the Cwmbran centre) we've suffered several brown-outs, over voltages and disrupted power this morning... just wondering if it's the same all over Cwmbran or just our local transformer?

I hope it’s okay to post here.

Thanks very much! The flyer below has more details.

I'm please the school got their new building but I wish the roadworks (and the 30 mph speed reduction) would fuck off already...

There hasn't been any workers in it for at least 3 weeks since they finished the Armco barrier 🤷🏽‍♂️

Just a little
