Cllr John Thomas, Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, said: “This development is part of wider Council plans to increase its housing stock and satisfy much-needed local demand for accommodation of this type. “The proposals for the site were drafted after widespread consultation with interested local parties and should be of real benefit to the community. “The range of different properties being constructed can provide comfortable places to live for families, couples and older residents. “It also sees a previously disused site revived to provide an important function within the area.” Jehu’s Managing Director, Marc Jehu commented: “We’re really pleased to be the contractor for the development at Brecon Court in Barry. This scheme is one of the first developments that will kick start the council’s wider regeneration plans, we’re thrilled to be part of this and carry out the work on behalf of the Vale of Glamorgan Council.” IN THIS SECTION...
