Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council emerged from local government reorganization in the 1970s and later became the principal authority for the county borough after restructuring in the 1990s. The council delivers local services across Blaenau Gwent and is based around the area's main communities. Through the Blaenau Gwent Business Hub, the council supports business start-ups, relocation, financial initiatives, recruitment and skills information, and enterprise facilitation. The hub provides property search tools and a database of commercial sites, premises, and managed workspace across the borough, alongside access to local news, events, and business networking resources.
