SO1091 : New Accommodation block on the old bowling green site, Newtown
taken 3 years ago, near to Newtown/Y Drenewydd, Powys, Wales
The site had been available for some years with successive rumours about who might occupy the site. Tesco were one of the suggestions but it seemed too small and the adjacent car park is not free and serves the whole town centre and park - Tesco went on to develop the old livestock market. M&S had also been mentioned but nothing came of it.
Following a housing need survey, it was decided to build a new block of 26 single bedroomed flats for rent. There is no associated parking (apart from the adjacent council car park) since the block is in the town centre, opposite the bus station and not far from the railway station.
