PLANS to build a community hub serving the Magor and Undy areas of Monmouthshire have been revealed.

The project to develop the community facility on the Three Fields site between Magor and Undy has been developed by the MUCH (Magor and Undy Community Hub) group alongside Monmouthshire County Council (MCC).

The aim of the project is to “create a high quality, energy efficient community facility, by the community, for the community.”

A planning application submitted to MCC states: “The community hub will be a place where the local communities of Magor and Undy will be able to come together to socialise, take part in leisure, sporting and cultural activities and to be a place for community meetings, events and support networks.”

The project has been developed over the past two years by MUCH which has held numerous consultations to establish the needs and desires of the community.

A total of 777 responses have been taken into account in shaping the plans.

Once it is established MUCH would run the hub with a team of directors and representatives drawn from the community.

The single storey “landmark building” would be on land south of Main Road (B4245) and would be funded working alongside MCC.

Three comments supporting the application have been made since the plans were submitted.

One states: “This is a superb idea and is essential for the future of Magor with Undy.

“The plans have been through several careful iterations, residents’ views taken on board and revisions produced and published in a timely manner.

“The group running the scheme (MUCH) are a dedicated team of volunteers with a rich range of skills and a very professional approach to something which, after all, they do they in their spare time.”
