Wynne Construction secures £11m Bodelwyddan housing project
Work on the £11million project is expected to start this summer, with completion due in spring 2027. The design phase is already underway.
Wynne has also been appointed to construct 47 social homes on Berse Road in Wrexham.
The £9 million development - consist of apartments and a mixture of two, three, and four-bedroom homes that are available to rent - is due for completion in autumn 2026.
Work on the scheme started in March.
Simon Moreton, Wynne Construction commercial director, said: 'We have previously worked on behalf of Adra on major builds including Plas Penhros and Pen Y Ffridd, so I'm looking forward to continuing our positive relationship.
'As usual, we will engage with local suppliers to not only provide the necessary materials, but to boost the region's economy.'
Corey Jones, Wynne Construction quantity surveyor, said: 'With around 80 to 100 people expected to work on each site at peak times, both developments will have a busy environment, but thanks to our experienced and skilled team members, I'm confident we will deliver quality results.
'In addition, we aim to give back to the community by welcoming apprentices and work experience students on site to give them real insight into the construction industry.'

West Lothian schools to get more support teachers thanks to extra £1m funding
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An extra £1.3m has been awarded to West Lothian Council to help develop Additional Support Learning across schools from August. It will mean more teachers and support staff as well as more specialised training for teachers to work with children and young people. It comes amid a 'spike' in the numbers of pupils needing additional support in schools and to learn at home. Councillors across the chamber welcomed the extra funding which is part of a £1bn pot given to local authorities by the Scottish Government to boost Additional Support Learning in the new school year. In a report to the Education Policy development and Scrutiny Panel Kristyna Macsween, the council's Additional Support Needs and Inclusion Improvement Manager said: "The Additional Support For Learning (ASL) Action Plan is already deep rooted in our Education Services and continues to be a high priority across all areas of education." The additional funding has allowed the recruitment of five teachers as well as more school support staff. Other key improvements include:- Increasing teacher availability to support children and young people debilitated by mental health crisis and unable to attend school. Increasing nurture support and resources within schools with specific supports provided by educational psychology services and additional support needs service. National Autistic society training packages. Improved family engagement through the delivery of Early Bird parent programmes to help parents develop understanding of autism. The council has also recruited a Quality Improvement Officer to focus on developing Additional Support Learning across the schools estate, in primary, secondary and ASN schools. Councillor Pauline Orr said: 'Audit Scotland said there's a wide gap exists in attainment in those deemed to have Additional Support Needs and those who don't. How does the council measure the achievements? Ms Macsween said: 'We measure in a range of different ways across schools. We pay a lot of attention to the fact that some ASN learners progress in a different manner. We're not looking at academic success they are looking at confidence building, looking at what national approaches they can take. 'We are very cognisant of the fact that there is a gap that exists however it's about how that gap is seen , and for me it is about the measure of wider achievement is often much more important to out young people to give them access to future life chance and that's where our focus will always be. We go at their pace.' Answering a question from SNP depute leader Pauline Stafford on the growing number of ASN placements Ms Macsween said there was an increase 'year on year' of need in children and young people. She added: 'The level of need has significantly increased year on year we have seen a spike, with many factors around that. We are looking at the impact of Covid, the lack of socialisation. We have been working closely with NHS partners such as speech and language seeing that there is a deficit there as well. "We are seeing an increase and we want to make sure we meet that need at all costs. Any decision is never around placement on a monetary decision it is taken on the needs of the pupils.' Councillor Orr thanked the team for their work and added: 'It's very welcome to see us going in such a constructive and positive direction.' Councillor Stafford said: 'It's really good to hear just how wide ranging support is for staff and learners, and also to hear the benefits of presumption of mainstream education. It is also a welcome boost to funding from the Scottish Government. Let's hope that's going to continue.' Chair of the PDSP Councillor Andrew McGuire added: 'I think the funding boost is very much welcome, and we are doing a lot with that money. 'It would be good to provide some permanency to that funding given the issues and the challenges that we face. We should encourage the Scottish Government to make sure that funding becomes permanent.'

Cosmeston Lake plan for new cafe, visitor centre and leisure events
Cosmeston Lake plan for new cafe, visitor centre and leisure events The Placemaking Plan for Penarth mentions the possibility of using Cosmeston Country Park for leisure events and activities in the future The Placemaking Plan for Penarth mentions the possibility of using Cosmeston Country Park for leisure events and activities in the future (Image: Mark Lewis ) A plan for future development in a Welsh seaside town proposes to explore opportunities to use its popular country park for leisure events and activities. Vale of Glamorgan Council recently approved a Placemaking Plan for Penarth and other major towns in the county which are aimed at supporting bids and attracting private investment for future projects. The plan for Penarth, published on the council's website, shows an ambition to develop a cafe and visitor centre at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park and explore the opportunity for outdoor leisure events and activities there. Controversial plans to pilot an inflatable water park at Cosmeston Lake were given the go-ahead earlier this year despite opposition and a petition against it gaining 6,897 signatures. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here . The Placemaking Plan for Penarth, produced after a public consultation, states: "Developing the café and visitor centre at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park along with exploring opportunities for outdoor leisure events and activities could generate additional revenue, which could then be reinvested into the ongoing maintenance of Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, ensuring its long-term financial sustainability. "The existing Cosmeston Lakes café can be developed to create a facility that will support a sustainable future for an attraction of the park's significance both locally and regionally." Using the revenue from leisure activities at Cosmeston Lake to maintain the park has already been used by council officials as an argument in favour of letting them go ahead. The aqua park at the eastern side of Cosmeston Lake will open in July. Article continues below At the end of September the council will carry out an evaluation of the pilot and decide if it will go out to tender for someone to operate an attraction on site for the following season. The plan for Penarth also states that following engagement with the community a number of other areas in the town were put forward for potential future work. These proposals included: A new public space for events Active travel improvements A history trail Improvements to the railway station Establishing a long-term use for The Kymin A permanent solution for outside hospitality spaces on The Esplanade Having an improved cultural offering at the pier Placemaking plans have also been developed for Llantwit Major and Cowbridge. A plan for Barry is still under development and will come to cabinet members for approval at a later date. Vale Council's cabinet member for neighbourhood and building services, Cllr Mark Wilson, said: "The first think I would like to emphasise is this is very much a live document. It is not something set in stone. Article continues below "It will change, it will evolve, over a period of time." He went on to add: "This document belongs to the towns of Llantwit, Cowbridge, and Penarth respectively. "It is not a council document in that sense, although obviously the council was helping to spearhead it... and to act as a catalyst for it. Clearly I think this is where it is going. There will be further consultation on this as we move forward in these three towns."

Yorkshire Dales approves ban for new properties as holiday lets
Rules to prevent new houses in the Yorkshire Dales from being used as holiday homes have been Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) is proposing that any new housing must be used as the occupier's permanent to the 2021 census, around 22% of up to 13,100 homes in the park area were either vacant, holiday lets or second Twine, chairman of YDNPA, said that was an "exceptionally high level of under-occupied housing" when compared to a national average of 6%. "Everyone would recognise that house building must be done particularly sensitively in a national park [and] we've worked hard to identify and allocate land for development," he said."What our Local Plan policy for permanent occupancy means is that on sites of two or more dwellings, new homes will be restricted to principal occupancy only."This will avoid loss to the holiday market and ensure that new homes are lived in by people who can be socially and economically active in local communities, which is what we need."At a meeting at the YDNPA headquarters in Bainbridge on Tuesday, members agreed to submit the new Local Plan - which would run until 2040 - for approval to the government's Planning authority also formally adopted a set of objectives for an updated management plan, which include an aim to reduce the proportion of so-called under-occupied homes in the park to fewer than 20% by to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, it is hoped North Yorkshire Council's premium on council tax for second homes will work with the new occupancy restriction to help meet this target. The management plan aims to guide the work of all the organisations that operate in the national park during the next five Twine added: "The Yorkshire Dales National Park Management Plan is a genuine partnership plan."It sets out an ambitious – but necessary – programme of work to which many local organisations have committed their support."Whilst it rightly focuses on tackling the challenges of climate change and the continuing decline in nature, it also identifies other opportunities to foster the social and economic wellbeing of local communities, by setting out objectives for more affordable housing, hyper-fast broadband access, and support for viable farming businesses."Mr Twine said he hoped that with each five-year review, the management plan would become more embedded in the culture of all organisations working in the park.
