Ebbw Vale Civic Centre Originally built in the 1960's on reclaimed land, the Civic Centre served Ebbw Vale Urban District Council, Blaenau Gwent Borough Council and then Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council which was formed in 1996. Its days are now numbered as it is currently being stripped out prior to demolition. The demolition of the nearby Leisure Centre back in 2014 makes this a very bare and sad part of Ebbw Vale.
