History

The Gurnos, Galon Uchaf and Penydarren Partnership Board is an extension of the long-standing community regeneration partnership that has operated in Gurnos and Galon Uchaf since 1995, initially as the Gurnos and Galon Uchaf Regeneration Strategy (also included in the *People in Communities *programme) and was converted into a Development Trust in August 1999. (The 3Gs Development Trust).

Galon Uchaf is included within the Penydarren Electoral Ward and when the *Communities First *initiative was announced it was a logical decision to incorporate the remainder of the Penydarren Electoral Ward within the existing Gurnos and Galon Uchaf Regeneration Strategy to form the wider Gurnos, Galon Uchaf and Penydarren Communities First Partnership.
