A PROJECT to create 23 new council homes in Barry has been completed.

Known as Lon y Felin Wynt, the development on Hayes Road - which will soon welcome new tenants - includes:

  • 19 two-bedroom properties;
  • Four three-bedroom properties.

Ahead of the arrival of the tenants, council leader Lis Burnett and cabinet member for public sector housing and tenant engagement Margaret Wilkinson took a tour of the site.

The properties have been constructed by Pegasus Developments Ltd on a brownfield site near the Atlantic Trading Estate.

They will boost the Vale of Glamorgan Council’s housing stock, helping meet demand for this type of accommodation.
