A North Wales MP has welcomed a new social housing scheme in Bethesda following a visit earlier this month.
Hywel Williams praised the Grŵp Cynefin scheme for helping meet the growing needs of local families on the local authority waiting list.
Williams was given a site tour of Llety’r Adar on the Hen Orsaf site, which will comprise five bungalows for the elderly and 12 houses with private gardens and parking.
The scheme aims to address the shortage of small to medium two-to-three-bedroom accommodation in the area for families, couples, and the elderly.
Commenting on his visit, Williams said: “The Llety’r Adar social housing development on the Hen Orsaf site in Bethesda is very much welcomed and will help alleviate some of the significant pressures for social housing in Bethesda and surrounding communities.
“These are homes of the highest quality, built to be in keeping with the local natural environment and reflecting the area’s long history with the slate industry.
“These homes will help to address a key local housing need and create high-quality homes built to the highest safety and green energy standards, ensuring that they are not just affordable to rent, but more affordable to run.”
He added: “I was delighted to be taken around the site, and it is great to see the project progressing well.
“I thank Grŵp Cynefin for their vision in bringing this project forward and to all partners involved in the design and construction of these much-needed new homes.”
Mel Evans, director of Innovation and Growth at housing association Grŵp Cynefin, said: “It was a pleasure to welcome Hywel Williams MP to view Grŵp Cynefin’s latest development in Bethesda.
“The public meetings to introduce the Llety’r Adar scheme to the local community has been extremely successful, and an opportunity to explain how to get on the tenancy list in plenty of time.
“We are proud to be able to offer homes of this quality and variety to the local people of the Bethesda area.”
