£2.6 million development of new council homes in Wrexham gets underway this month

A £2.6 million development of new council homes in Wrexham is set to begin this month.

The project, to be built by national property services business, Liberty, on behalf of Wrexham County Borough Council, will create 13 new homes in Plas Madoc.

It will feature homes to meet a range of needs including two five-bedroom bungalows, a mix of four, three and two-bedroom homes and four one-bedroom apartments.

The homes in Plas Madoc will be the second new council house development to have been newly built in Wrexham, with work recently finishing at the Nant Silyn site in Caia Park.

The 14 homes, which are located on the former Nant Silyn care home site in Caia Park, are the first new council houses to have been built in Wrexham for almost 30 years.

All the homes at Plas Madoc will be available for social rent once completed in May 2022.

Ray Jones, Managing Director of Liberty, said: “We’re delighted to be taking forward the second phase of the council’s development plans for new council homes in Wrexham.

“The completion of the Nant Silyn site was a major milestone for the local area, and we want to build on this success with the Plas Madoc site, which will create more, much needed, new affordable homes for local people.”

Wrexham County Borough Council Lead Member for Housing, Cllr David Griffiths said: “Having visited the Nant Silyn site I was extremely impressed with the build standards. I’m confident that the Plas Madoc build will be equally impressive.

“We are committed to providing well managed, lifetime homes for our tenants through our new builds, as well as investing in, and improving our existing stock”
