Llantwit Major asset transfer complete

12 September 2025

A host of staff across different departments have come together to arrange a series of Community Asset Transfers in Llantwit Major.

These agreements will see responsibility for car parks at the Town Hall, on Wine Street and Boverton Road pass from the Vale of Glamorgan Council to Llantwit Major Town Council once legal formalities have been concluded.

The town council will also take over management of the toilet block on Boverton Road.

Resurfacing, toilet improvement and administration work has taken place as part of the project, with colleagues from the Highways, Property, Legal, Parks, Engineering, Business Services and Finance teams all involved.

Brendan Doherty, Tim Sansum, Jo Lewis, Jos Ham, James Docherty, Angela Bailey, Martin Andrews, Mel Eady, Kyle Snooks and Nathan Thomas have been particularly instrumental in the process.

Chief Executive Rob Thomas said: “I’d like to thank everyone who has played a part in this important piece of work.

“Vale 2030, our new Corporate Plan, sets out how we will continue building Strong Communities with a Bright Future.

“In a challenging financial climate, we must be creative to achieve this, and a key strategy is to work closely with local groups, third sector organisations and town and community councils.

“This move will save the Council money that can be reinvested into other areas, such as looking after our most vulnerable.

“It will also see these important local facilities manged by the community that uses them, with the town council best placed to understand and meet the needs of Llantwit Major residents.

“This is an example of our Reshaping Programme in action, a plan to look at new and innovative ways of providing services to ensure they are delivered as efficiently and effectively as possible.

“It shows what can be achieved when staff from different teams come together to work across normal departmental boundaries.”

“Well done and thank you.”
