Cllr Nigel George, Cabinet Member for Community and Leisure Services said: “I would like to thank those who helped to make Bargoed Park a cleaner and greener place to visit, especially the pupils of Park Primary who are an example for the rest of the school and the community to follow. Well done to everyone involved”. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
