New housing project begins with ground breaking ceremony, Bodedern

A ground-breaking ceremony has marked the start of works on a £5.5m project, which will see 29 homes built on Anglesey.

The Tre Angharad scheme in Bodedern, which is a partnership between ClwydAlyn Housing Association, Anglesey County Council, Welsh Government and DU Construction, will see the construction of 28 houses and one bungalow.

The new affordable family homes are part of ClwydAlyn’s ambitious build programme which coincides with Anglesey County Council’s ambitious plan to increase its housing provision on the island.

Head of Development and Growth at ClwydAlyn, Penelope Storr said:

“We are committed to working with our partners here on the Bodedern project to meet the local housing needs in the area.

“This exciting project will build on our commitment to beat poverty here in North Wales as well as bring much needed affordable accommodation to the local area, offering new, modern homes that will meet the needs of the local population.”

Built to high energy efficiency standards, these homes will be built with a timber framed structure and high levels of insulation, providing efficient low carbon homes. Ensuring the minimum amount of energy is needed to keep the homes warm, reducing energy costs, whilst providing a much greener and cleaner way of living.

Anglesey based construction firm, DU Construction LTD, will be delivering the construction work, utilising their extensive expertise in delivering construction projects across North Wales for over 25 years.

Mark Blackwell Director at DU Construction Ltd said:

“DU Construction Ltd look forward to working closely again with ClwydAlyn to deliver this project whilst maintaining our high-quality build that’s expected of us.

“We’re also pleased to be working within the community where we are based, to be able to offer job security to numerous local trade persons and suppliers, and to give much needed affordable housing for the local area.”

“It is great to see the start of works on these new homes in Bodedern. The Council is happy to support this project which will provide much needed carbon friendly properties to families in the area, with clean and green homes which will hopefully offer energy efficiencies in times of rising fuel costs.”

Anglesey Council Deputy Leader and Children, Youth and Housing Service portfolio holder, Gary Pritchard, added:

“As part of our commitment to ensure everyone has somewhere to call home, I would like to thank everyone who has worked hard to move this fantastic housing project forward.”

This scheme is part of ClwydAlyn’s development programme to deliver further 1500 new homes in North Wales by 2025 at an investment of £250m bringing the total number of homes in management to over 7,500.
