Janet Finch-Saunders, Member of the Welsh Parliament for Aberconwy, has spoken of her delight that building work is to recommence at the old Glanrafon estate in Llanrwst.
The project by Cartrefi Conwy is seeing over £4 million invested to demolish the existing flats, and replace them with 14 three and four bedroom low carbon homes. However, the transformation has not been plain sailing. The site, now called Rhodfa Phil Evans, has been plagued with delays due to the current challenges affecting the industry. This has caused the build to exceed its original completion date.
Commenting on the project, Janet said: “The Rhodfa Phil Evans estate will be a great asset for the area when finished. The old, 1970’s flats were no longer fit for purpose. Their replacement with 14 three and four bedroom family homes is an excellent way to help address our current housing shortage here in Aberconwy.
“The project has faced challenges and delays, affecting residents in the town. Having raised concerns with Cartrefi Conwy, I am pleased to have been advised that the build is to recommence and is in its final weeks.
“The sooner the building site becomes homes the better, so I am pleased that the Housing Association is pushing forward towards completing their plans.”
