Great to see the new “Welcome to Machen” signage now installed this week.

The signage was installed by Caerphilly County Borough Council and funded through Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) monies from Bedwas, Trethomas & Machen Community Council.

This project was actioned by Cllr Amanda McConnell and Cllr Chris Morgan as part of ongoing improvements within the community.

We hope residents and visitors alike enjoy the new addition to the village.
