Talbot Green

Talbot Green (Welsh: Tonysguboriau "lea of the barns"[2]) is a town (and electoral ward) just north of the M4 motorway, in the County Borough of Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales in the United Kingdom.

All the original railway infrastructure remains intact between Talbot Green and Pontyclun, including the track, signals and bridges.

It expanded once again due to a conversion of a former Comet unit into a food quarter containing 3 restaurants and a coffee shop.

The town also has a development of Offices, Hotel, Pub and a private Health facility which is located in Magden Park on the Ely Meadows alongside the A4119 Talbot Green to Ynysmeardy dual carriageway near the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

[5] Talbot Green was an electoral ward to Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, bounded to the east by the A4119 road.

[10] Improvements to the road network, in particular the A4119 linking the Rhondda Valleys to the M4, through Tonyrefail and Talbot Green, brought development pressure to the area around Llantrisant.

Extensive housing development has taken place recently in the towns along the A473, the main Pontypridd to Bridgend road—linking Llantwit Fardre to Llantrisant, Talbot Green, Llanharan and Pencoed—the road that runs parallel to the Afon Clun from Rhiwsaeson to Pontyclun.

In June 2011, it was announced there are proposals to make Talbot Green a "new town centre" by building a new supermarket, 40 shops, a multi screen cinema, cafes, restaurants, bars and a hotel.

[12] The scheme as of March 2013 had been given the greenlight by the local council, however development won't begin until the planning consent for the supermarket and a petrol filling station is granted.
