The Woodland Road Sports and Social Centre in Croesyceiliog, Cwmbran might have closed if it lost its council funding. It has now been taken over by the community.

The Woodland Road Community Trust has been formed and it started running Woodland Road Sports and Social Centre from August 2014.

The move will save Torfaen council more than £60,000 a year.

The proposal was part of the authority's wider budget savings of £11.2m for 2014/15.

A group of Community Council members, sports and social club members, centre users and volunteers are supporting staff to keep the centre running for the community.
