The Welsh Assembly Government’s flagship programme Communities First has the long term aim to improve the living conditions and prospects for people in the most disadvantaged communities across Wales. It allows local people themselves to decide what is needed, and they are then supported in these decisions to make these changes happen within their local community.

Following a reclassification of the Wales Index of Multiple Deprivation in 2005 more areas within Wales have been added to the Programme, the latest being Town & Park, Merthyr Tydfil.

The Town & Park Communities First project has been in place since June 2007 and is based
at 88, Pontmorlais, Merthyr Tydfil.
