Bridgend Council has said it will continue to tackle the issue of empty and derelict buildings across the borough this month, after discussions took place at the authority's full council meeting.
Speaking at the meeting, independent councillor Ian Williams of Oldcastle asked members for an update on what steps were being taken by the council to deal with derelict buildings, particularly those based in Bridgend town centre.
In a written response, the council said that more than £7 million had been invested on the issues over the last 20 years, through a number of programmes that had brought several local buildings back into use.
