Wrexham County Council<\/a> and Liberty<\/a> are to build new council homes at the site of the former Nant Silyn residential care home on Pont Wen, Caia Park<\/h2>\n

Work has started on a housing development which will see the construction of the first council homes to be built in Wrexham since 1991.<\/p>\n

There will be 14 new properties including eight apartments, four two-bedroom houses, one older person\u2019s one-bed bungalow and one fully adapted two-bed bungalow. The development is due to be completed in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Nant Silyn scheme forms the first of a number of social housing<\/a> developments earmarked for Wrexham, with a further development at Plas Madoc awaiting planning approval.<\/p>\n

First social housing development in nearly 30 years<\/h3>\n

Councillor David Griffiths, lead member for housing at Wrexham Council, said the authority was pleased to be building its first social housing<\/a> development in nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n

Griffiths commented: \u201cWe\u2019re absolutely delighted that we\u2019re bringing new social properties in Wrexham.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe development will transform the site of the former Nant Silyn, which was closed four years ago, into a new community and we\u2019re glad that we\u2019re working alongside Liberty on this new development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the provision of new council properties will complement our ongoing work under the Welsh Housing Quality Standards<\/a> (WHQS), which has seen hundreds of council properties modernised and brought up to 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councillor Mark Pritchard, leader of the council, said: \u201cThis is an ambitious project for Wrexham Council and will supply lifetime homes for our tenants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very pleased that we\u2019ve been able to come to a point where we\u2019re constructing new council homes, and know that these new properties will go a long way to fulfilling the housing needs of some of the most vulnerable people in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ray Jones, group managing director of Liberty, added: \u201cThe regeneration of disused brownfield sites will create attractive and modern living spaces in an area brimming with natural beauty.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are naturally delighted to be working with Wrexham County Council on this exciting project and very much look forward to delivering these much-needed homes.\u201d<\/p>\n
