Built in partnership by Hafod Care and the Vale of Glamorgan Council, the scheme has replaced the former derelict Theatre Royal cinema in Barry with 42 much-needed homes for older people and created a landmark building for the town. The accolade was presented by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) Cymru at the 2015 Welsh Housing Awards.
As well as providing much needed housing, the iconic glass-fronted building has also re-introduced commercial activity into the area by providing shop front units which house a busy hair salon and a thriving coffee shop.
Whilst the construction phase of the development provided opportunities for training and created and safeguarded local employment, the operation of the scheme provides over 50 jobs and will continue to provide employment and training opportunities for the town." Show less
