A major council house-building project has been proposed in Bonymaen, Swansea. More than 100 homes are being earmarked for four plots of land on Brokesby Road, together with green spaces, play areas, some new and existing trees, and cycle route access. The properties would be more energy-efficient than set out in building regulations - incorporating triple-glazed windows, for example - keeping bills down for occupants.
Cllr Andrea Lewis, cabinet member for service transformation, said it was early days for the project. She said: "It's no secret that councils throughout the country are under pressure because of the shortage of housing for families and single people.
"We've identified a number of sites that were formerly used for housing and have engaged with architects to develop a masterplan for these sites – which illustrate our future vision for building more homes. Our aim will be to secure funding so we can make this vision a reality and create more than 100 new homes in the Bonymaen community."
