Significant milestone in the history of Ysgol Llanfair DC
A turf cutting ceremony has marked the first stage of the building of a brand new replacement school for Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd which started construction on site at the start of June.
The new bilingual church school will be built on land opposite Bryn y Clwyd, Llanfair using funding from the Welsh Government’s 21st Century Schools and Education programme, in partnership with investment from the Council.
Bodelwyddan-based Wynne Construction is the main contractor appointed to carry out the works.
Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts, Cabinet Lead Member for Education, Children, Young People and the Welsh Language, said: “This is an extremely momentous day in the history of Ysgol Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd.
“We have recognised that the current facilities are dated and are in desperate need of modernisation. There has also been concerns about the lack of car parking, staff areas, public areas and accessibility to the school, which is located on the busy A525 in the centre of the village. That is why the Council, working in partnership with Welsh Government, has invested significantly in this project and we are delighted to see work get underway.
There has been some great progress on site so far and over the coming week’s works will progress on the ground works for the new building, car park area and Playing field.
