Showcase Event on Affordable Homes

Cymdeithas Tai Clwyd organised a showcase event for Welsh Assembly Government candidates on the 23 rd of April.

The seven candidates were welcomed to the evening event held at the Brookhouse Mill, Denbigh by Alwyn Llwyd, Chief Executive. “Our main aim tonight is to make you more aware of the growing concern and importance which is attached to housing and of the need to make housing a bigger priority in the next term of the Assembly. This is in addition to presenting the manifesto of Community Housing Cymru and to provide you with examples of the work of Cymdeithas Tai Clwyd in this context”

After welcoming the candidates they were taken o a bus trip to visit five local Cymdeithas Tai Clwyd sites with Bryn Davies, Development Manager leading the way. The candidates received a very good impression of the work carried out by the Association.

Following the trip, presentations were given by: Bryn Davies, Development Manager (“Delivering Affordable Homes”), Gwenan Parry, Senior Housing Officer (“Low Cost Ownership Options”) and Helen Cook, Rural Housing Enabler on her role in the counties of Denbighshire and Conwy.

A number of questions were received by the candidates which in turn led to a lively and constructive debate.
