Housing group's 300-home plan

ORGANISATION WANTS TO TACKLE RURAL DEPOPULATION

- 

A HOUSING association has launched a plan to help stem the tide of rural depopulation in North Wales.

Grŵp Cynefin, which operates across the six counties of North Wales and north Powys, has revealed it is intending to build 300 homes by 2028.

Central to its newly launched corporate plan is to increase the stock of affordable housing, boost the local economy and support the Welsh language at the same time.

The strategy, called A Place To Belong, also includes decarbonising thousands of existing homes.

That process has started already, with £12million being spent on green, energy-saving measures in more than 400 properties over the past 12 months.
