Road in Wales that leads to £10m business park with no businesses – it’s not the only one | UK | News
In the valet of Glamorgan borders, there is a network of empty roads and paths that are definitely going to anywhere in a rural area close to the town of Galli Bridgend.
Between M4 and A48, Brocastle Business Park was built to provide an economic increase in the region and aimed at creating thousands of employment opportunities for £ 10 million supported by the Wales Government.
Nevertheless, although it is preparing for a large number of land parcels and existing for business profession, there is no industrial activity or speech sound from the current employees, rather, it is a memorable silence because none of the region has been used so far.
The Brocastle Business Park was completed in November 2021 in the land adjacent to the A48, about five miles away from the M4 Junction 35.
Development received the support of the Wales government to provide a “an important incentive for employment opportunities” with a draft planning permission for a 770,000 square meter commercial area. Reports Wales online.
The construction was carried out by a regional civil engineering firm and financed by the Wales Government, including approximately 6.2 million £ from the European Regional Development Fund.
Through an active travel route, the new employment was allocated to the plan to connect the place to Waterton.
During the launch, former Economy Minister Vaughan Gething described the “important investment” as preparation for the proposals he envisaged. However, as of August 2025, although the completion of important roads and provided for nine parcels, none seems to be used with marketing agencies that still exhibit them as it is present.
Local Community Assembly Member Keith Hughes, like others, said that the region thinks that the region needs additional employment opportunities and hopes that the investment in the position will be valuable at the end of the position.
The Welsh government said in a statement that the negotiations and others are “actively marketed” in the two lands that are currently ongoing.
They said: “Since the significant completion of the development lands, Brocastle has received a series of serious investigations from the relevant parties.
“Currently, we negotiate proposals in two of the nine lands, one of whom have a developer and the other one.
“The remaining lands continue to be actively marketed by commercial property agencies and attracts a stable interest.
He continued: “We are sure that the site will attract more investment in Bridgend and will host many new jobs in the coming years.”
