Exciting news for Cardiff residents! 🚧🏢 After a long wait, work has finally kicked off on transforming the old police station in Llanedeyrn into a sleek block of flats. Plans were initially approved over five years ago, and although demolition of the old station took place back in 2017, the project faced unexpected delays, including contractor issues in 2021. But the wait is over!
This development is part of a wider regeneration strategy for the Maelfa suburb, aiming to bring a fresh burst of life to the area with more homes and fantastic facilities. The new residential complex is designed to cater to older residents, featuring 41 accessible one and two-bedroom homes. It doesn’t stop there—the ground floor will house communal spaces for socialising and support. Imagine activity spaces, a medical room, and a lush landscaped garden, all linked to the existing Maelfa tower block. 🌳🏡
The revamped area will be a bustling hub, replacing the former shopping centre with new shops, roads, and parking facilities, making it a modern marvel. 🛍️🛣️
Initial construction involves laying the foundations, which will see some serious machinery action! Expect the usual weekday hustle from 8 am to 5 pm as concrete and steel pave the way for this exciting venture. 🏗️✨
Local councillors shared the good news that this week marks the official start of a new chapter for Maelfa. Stay tuned as this project brings a vibrant change to Cardiff. 🎉
