Local authority initiatives

Conwy county council and North Wales Housing are developing a £8.6m extra care housing scheme on the site of a former care home in Abergele. Hafod y Parc will feature 49 one and two bedroomed apartments and will offer independent living with care, designed to cater for the needs of each individual. Business development director at North Wales Housing, Phil Danson, said: There is a clear need in North Wales for more extra care housing that allows people to sustain an independent lifestyle with peace of mind through a care option. Extra care housing facilitates this need and we are pleased to be able to announce plans to develop a second scheme of this nature in North Wales.’
