Exciting transformation alert in Pontycymer! 🌟 The long-vacant plot where the Ffaldau Arms pub once stood—destroyed by fire back in 2007—is getting a fresh start. Plans are now underway to bring 12 brand-new, one and two-bedroom council flats to the heart of this quaint village. 🏘️
Valleys to Coast, a housing association rooted in Bridgend, is spearheading this project using a Neath-based contractor. With support from the Welsh Government, which is generously covering 65% of the project’s £2.1m cost, these homes will soon welcome residents at social rent. This initiative doesn’t just promise new dwellings but also pledges a £5,000 boost to local community initiatives. 🙌
These new homes will be crafted on Oxford Street, known for its excellent connectivity—half-hourly buses link Pontycymer with Bridgend and Blaengarw. Plus, with shops, cafés, and schools just a quick stroll away, future residents will find everything they need right at their doorstep! 🏫🛍️☕️
Rob Green from Valleys to Coast expresses his pride in converting a brownfield site, reiterating their dedication to revitalising Bridgend and uplifting communities. Here’s to seeing Pontycymer flourish! 🌿
