Our 10 year plan

The Valley’s Museum will be an accredited museum with the objects and artefacts in its collection displayed and cared for appropriately.
The important industrial story of the Valley itself will feature strongly in the Valley’s collections, displays and exhibitions.

We intend that in ten years:

There will be a funded programme caring for all the green spaces in the Valley making these areas more attractive and more biodiverse whilst contributing to carbon offsetting, reducing costs and keeping visitors safe.
The water areas of the valley will be managed to be more attractive and more biodiverse whilst still fulfilling their role for water storage and flood relief.
The amount of wildlife (insects, mammals and birds) in the Valley will be at least the same, and preferably increased from, current levels, with the site managed to attract new species.
The Valley will be on target to become net carbon zero by 2050 in line with Welsh National Policy
