Community comes together at ‘Meet Your Neighbours’ event in Denbigh

Llwyn Eirin residents gathered at HWB Dinbych recently for a successful ‘Meet Your Neighbours’ community event.

Organised by the Council’s Housing & Communities Service, the event brought together the residents of Llwyn Eirin, who have recently moved into their new homes and partner organisations to strengthen community connections and meet their neighbours and to also highlight the wide range of support available for them in Denbigh.

Llwyn Eirin residents had the opportunity to meet representatives from Flying Start / Families First, Denbighshire Housing, and Working Denbighshire at HWB Dinbych. They also were able to take part in crafting with local artist Jude Wood (via DLL Ltd) and light refreshments helped create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere to help support the new residents, with the families attending throughout the afternoon.

Lead Member for Housing and Communities, Cllr Rhys Thomas, said:

“It was fantastic to see so many residents come along to the event and take the opportunity to connect with one another and with the services available locally.

“Bringing partners together under one roof makes it easier for people to access advice and support, while also helping to build stronger relationships within the community.

“Events like this show the strength of community spirit we have here in Denbigh, and we’re grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to such a positive afternoon.”

The Council would like to thank all partners and residents who supported the event and helped make it a success, and we hope that the residents of Llwyn Eirin will be very happy in their new homes.

The development has been supported by Welsh Government funding through its Innovative Housing Programme, enabling Denbighshire County Council to work with the Rhyl-based Creating Enterprise Community Interest Company assembling components off-site for this modern approach to housebuilding.

The Llwyn Eirin development forms part of Denbighshire County Council’s Affordable Housing Programme, which is delivering new council homes across the county to meet local need.

NOTE

The Llwyn Eirin homes have been built to the Passivhaus standard, offering excellent insulation and reduced energy use. The properties are fitted with ground-source heat pumps, avoiding the need for a gas supply and have solar panels. This will help to reduce carbon emissions and support the Council’s commitment to tackling climate change.
