A DEVELOPMENT that will feature five homes for "local families" has been named Llygaid y Moelwyn.

Following the creation of two houses in Bro Pedr Fardd in Garndolbenmaen near Porthmadog, Tîm Trwsio, Adra’s internal contractors are working on their second development on Wynne Road, Blaenau Ffestiniog. 

Three of the homes will be adapted to suit the specific needs of the families.

The timber frames have now been put up, and plumbing and electrical work has started.

The team is being supported by contractor Tom James Construction Services Ltd from Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Work is expected to be completed by late spring.

Steffan Evans, Commercial Manager for Trwsio, said: "We are very proud of the work Tîm Trwsio is doing here on Wynne Road and look forward to further developments in the future.

"We have made a strong commitment in our Corporate Plan to provide affordable, high-quality homes to meet local needs and provide homes that people can be proud of."

Daniel Parry, Development Director at Adra, said: "We are very pleased to see the progress on Wynne Road. It will provide homes that are truly needed in Blaenau Ffestiniog, and the fact that there are so many local connections to this building project makes it even more special."

Students from Ysgol y Moelwyn were invited to see the homes being built. More than 20 Year 11 students were given the opportunity to meet with the development team.
