NEW HOMES OPEN<br />
It’s been an exciting couple of months for us with<br />
the opening of three new housing developments.<br />
Back in September, two new bungalows on<br />
Moorland Road in Sandfields were let.<br />
Amongst the first tenants to move in was Mrs<br />
Siimei Hui, husband Tatkwong and son Siwai.<br />
She said she was thrilled with her new home:<br />
“Our new home is perfect for my husband who<br />
has recently suffered a stroke. It’s all on the<br />
ground floor so is really easy to get around. I’m<br />
so happy, we all are, it is so lovely both inside<br />
and outside, and I know we are going to enjoy<br />
living here.”<br />
Following on from Moorland Road, we opened<br />
up four new flats at Wembley in Melyn. Tenants<br />
moved in there in October.<br />
Our biggest development was on the site of our<br />
old Cartref flats in Skewen. Following demolition<br />
of the old complex, 12 new flats, four houses and<br />
a bungalow were constructed.<br />
Tenants started moving into their new homes last<br />
month.<br />
Elsewhere, construction is continuing on<br />
building eight new homes at Llys Wern in<br />
Caewern, Neath whilst we will also be converting<br />
an old office block into flats at Llansawel<br />
Crescent, Briton Ferry.<br />
School Competition Winner<br />
Our new properties at Cwrt Cartref were built<br />
by local firm, Hale Construction.<br />
During the work, they ran a competition in<br />
conjunction with nearby Coedffranc Primary<br />
School, asking pupils to design a safety<br />
poster to warn of the dangers playing on<br />
building sites.<br />
After sifting through all the entries, Tilly Myatt-<br />
Cook’s design was chosen as the winner. She<br />
was presented with a digital camera, with<br />
the runners up receiving book vouchers. The<br />
school was also presented with a laptop as<br />
a thank you for putting pupils forward to take<br />
part in the competition.<br />
David Harrhy, Hale Construction’s Managing<br />
Director said: “As a local company we believe<br />
strongly in engaging with the community in<br />
which we work and asking the children of<br />
Coedffranc Primary School to design safety<br />
posters allows us to do just that. It also<br />
reinforces the very important message that<br />
building sites are dangerous places.”<br />
Tilly’s poster will now be displayed at all Hale<br />
Construction sites across Wales.<br />
