Consultations

Empty Properties Consultation

As of the 1 April 2024, Bridgend County Borough had more than 1800 empty homes, and of these more than 650 had been empty for at least twelve months.  Meanwhile, at the same time, there were over 2,500 applicants on our housing register.

In an effort to address the number of empty properties within the county borough, the council is seeking views to help inform the renewal of the Empty Property Strategy 2024-2029.

The strategy will inform the council’s approach to prioritising and bringing empty properties back into use, whilst also being able to help contribute towards increasing the availability of housing for sale or for rent. 

Closing date: 16 September 2024

Assisted Transport Consultation

Bridgend County Borough Council is committed to promoting independence across all areas of service provision and seeks to ensure as many people live and travel as independently as possible within their own communities.

This policy has been developed to provide a strategic and sustainable approach to delivering assisted transport. It places greater emphasis on promoting independence and transparency, and clearly outlines the framework through which Bridgend County Borough Council Adult Services provide assisted transport.

Closing date:  29 October 2024.
