Enhancing Local Facilities - Feasibility Study

Description

Feasibility and design study for the enhancing of facilities at Pontneddfechan Village Hall. The facilities at Pontneddfechan Village Hall are insufficient to meet the demands of the community and the increase in visitors at this popular destination. Due to the closure of the school and church hall this is the only community space available in the area. The hall needs complete updating to get the maximum use of the inside space whilst being sensitive to its listed status and to high environmental and sustainability standards. The nearby car park at Craig y Ddinas receives over 50,000 visitors a year, many who come to enjoy the outdoor activities on offer of gorge walking and climbing. There are no facilities for changing or toileting resulting in issues for the community and visitors. The Hall is in the ideal location to provide these much needed facilities. The surrounding area is a SSSI and SAC so the grounds need to be developed to enhance biodiversity. This feasibility study will need to have community inclusion and work in partnership with the organisations who also work in the area.
