The new Co-op store in Talgarth was officially opened on 15 September 2023 by the town’s oldest resident, 102 year old John Gwyn.

The 5,000 square foot store, on the site of the old Council Highway Yard, provides ample parking spaces for residents, enabling them to shop locally and cutting down on journeys to stores further afield.

The Powys based store is the latest of a number of convenience store developments that Aspect Developments have delivered for the Co-operative Group.

Development work is well under way on the new Co-op store on the site of the old Council Highway Yard in Talgarth, with contractors putting the initial building structure in place.

The former highway yard undergoing a redevelopment which will provide four new 1000 square foot commercial units to let in the new enterprise park.

The existing Co-op store in the market square will also be refurbished as part of the enterprise park, with the new larger Co-op due to open its doors in the summer of 2023.

The first phase of the new enterprise park in Talgarth is now underway with the Co-op store development scheduled to start in early 2023.

As reported in the Brecon and Radnor Express, the Co-op store relocation was key to the ambitious enterprise park development with work starting on the demolition of the old Council Highway Yard on 5th December.

The former highway yard is set to undergo a redevelopment which will provide four new 1000 square foot commercial units to let in the new enterprise park.

The existing Co-op store in the market square will also be refurbished as part of the enterprise park, with the new larger Co-op due to open its doors in the summer of 2023.

Commenting on the development in the Talgarth ward whom he represents, Cllr William Powell said:

Over more than two decades, the former Powys County Council Highways Depot at Talgarth has fallen into dereliction and at last things are set to change.

It is a real opportunity, especially against the current economic background, to see the plans for Parc Menter Talgarth/ Talgarth Enterprise Park taking shape, starting in the first phase with the construction of a new Co-op store for Talgarth in the first half of 2023.

Along with Talgarth Town Council, Talgarth and District Regeneration Group, and others who care about our town, I am keen to see this project proceed, whilst actively supporting the commercial reinstatement of the soon-to-be-vacated Co-op premises at Liverpool House in the Square.

Change is always challenging but this project presents our town with a real opportunity to reinvent itself, all the more important in these current turbulent times.

The scheme to redevelop of the former highways yard at Hay Road in the Town also provides opportunity to refurbish the existing store on Market square. This will provide much needed retail and commercial premises for local companies with new residential accommodation to the upper floors.
