Green light for Ysgol Carreg Emlyn new school
Exciting plans to build a brand new primary school in Clocaenog have taken a significant step forward – with the Council now the proud owners of the land needed for the development.
Currently the school is located on two sites: at Clocaenog and Cyffylliog. Now the sale has been signed and sealed, it means construction work on building the new school on the Clocaenog site can begin over the coming weeks.
This project is being funded by the Council and the Welsh Government through its 21st Century Schools and Education Capital Programme. Wynne Construction are the main contractors appointed to carry out the works.
Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts, Cabinet Lead Member for Education, Children and Young People and the Welsh Language, said: “This is tremendous news for pupils at Carreg Emlyn and for future generations living in the Clocaenog, Cyffylliog and surrounding areas.
“We recognise the news has been a long time coming but we are delivering on our promise to press ahead with these ambitious plans. The investment by Denbighshire and by the Welsh Government clearly reflects the commitment to improving facilities for our children and young people and generations of children will soon benefit from state of the art educational facilities that are fit for the 21stCentury. This is also another significant investment in Welsh medium education in the county.
“This is a momentus day for Ysgol Carreg Emlyn and we are delighted to share the news with the school and the wider community”.
