Following Cabinet approval to proceed, a statutory notice was published on 17^th June 2021 allowing the 28 day period for submitting objections, which ran until 14^th July 2021.

If implemented, this proposal would take effect on 1st September 2024 with Alltwen, Godre’rgraig and Llangiwg primary schools closing on 31^st August 2024.
