PENARTH has officially launched its ‘Placemaking Plan’, at an event, hosted by Penarth Town Council at Turner House.
The Deputy Mayor of Penarth, Cllr Laura Rochefort, and the Leader of the Vale Council, Cllr Lis Burnett, spoke at the launch saying that it was the start of the next stage of the Placemaking process, with the implementation phase set to begin in October when the Penarth Town Board meets for the first time.
From there, Project Teams will be formed to develop initiatives across the town, drawing on a variety of funding sources.
Cllr Laura Rochefort said: “We look forward to seeing how this plan provides opportunities for the town council and for the many community groups in Penarth to be involved in the development process.”

Cllr Lis Burnett said: “It was wonderful to see such a fantastic turnout for the Placemaking Plan launch and reflects the community’s passion for making Penarth a great place to live.
“Placemaking is about more than just making physical improvements – it’s about creating places where people feel connected and valued. I’m excited to see how the community’s ideas will help shape the next chapter for the town.”
A council spokesperson added: “Placemaking can include everything from major infrastructure improvements to cultural events and small local projects, all designed to strengthen community connection and a sense of belonging.”
