Work under way on new market for Caerphilly built from shipping containers

Caerphilly

Work has started on a new market for Caerphilly built from shipping containers. The project, Ffos (moat in English) Caerffili, is expected to be completed in October or November

The Welsh Government is providing 58% of the project’s cost with a grant of £2.09m and loan of £600,000 from its Transforming Towns programme. The remainder of the funding will come from the local council and the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund.

The first project in Caerphilly County Borough Council’s 2035 regeneration masterplan, Ffos Caerffili will provide 28 units for food and drink operators, independent shops and workspaces. It will also feature an external terrace allowing for outdoor dining, music concerts and events. It is being delivery by construction company Lancer Scott.
