A council owned shopping centre is set to undergo a major redevelopment. St Tydfil’s Shopping Centre in Merthyr Tydfil which was built in 1970 is set to be transformed with ideas for it including a mix of shops, workplaces and places to live. Plans also aim to improve market facilities, more public open spaces as well as more high quality food and drink venues and more independent businesses.
The redevelopment will also include a revamp of the original bus station site at Glebeland, next to the shopping centre, which was demolished with the opening of the new Merthyr Tydfil bus station.
The complex was bought by the council in December 2021 and as part of the authority’s 15-year town centre “masterplan” St Tydfil Shopping Centre will get a new look. The council is asking residents, businesses and shoppers how they would like to see it change.
