Much Needed Affordable Housing Development Officially Opened
Residents, staff and guests came together to celebrate the official opening of the new affordable housing development Stad yr Ysgol in Bryn Paun, Llangoed, earlier this month.
Working closely with Isle of Anglesey Council, the new Stad yr Ysgol housing development has been built in the Bryn Paun area of Llangoed, close to the local primary school.
The site has been transformed by North Wales Housing and appointed contractors Williams Homes Bala, providing 10 much needed affordable homes, a mixture of 8 x five person three bed houses and 2 x four person two bed houses.
Lynne Parry, Chair of North Wales Housing’s Landlord Services Board, and local councillor Lewis Davies helped plant an ornamental tree to mark the occasion before enjoying afternoon tea accompanied by performances by local school Ysgol Llangoed.
Phil Danson, Places Director at North Wales Housing explains:
“We are extremely pleased to have created 10 new affordable rent homes for local people of Llangoed. This is the result of great partnership working with Isle of Anglesey Council. By working together we have improved the housing prospects of young local families and helped tackle the wider issue of housing shortage.”
Anglesey’s Head of Housing Services, Shan Lloyd Williams, said:
“The Council has worked closely with both the Welsh Government and North Wales Housing to deliver this innovative affordable housing scheme, in an area where the need for affordable housing had been identified. We hope that the Tenants will enjoy living on their new estate for years to come, and that they will take every opportunity to contribute to the community’s activities.”
Housing and Social Services portfolio holder, Councillor Aled Morris Jones, said:
“This is another excellent example of how Anglesey County Council is working with its partners to develop new affordable housing on the Island. We are proactively working to develop additional affordable housing across Anglesey, which includes building the first new Council homes in 30 years, bringing long term empty properties back into use and recently abolishing the Right to Buy on Anglesey.”
Phil Danson, Places Director at North Wales Housing:
“We hope that the residents of Stad yr Ysgol will enjoy living in their new homes and that the community will flourish and grow alongside the new tree planted today”.
