Renovation work, Fairview Court, Pontnewynydd
Blue sheeting covers Fairview Court, a 12-storey block of 70 flats, during a £1 million renovation and improvement project. The block, located between George Street and the Afon Lwyd river, looked like this http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2127859 in October 2010.
When work is completed, there will be many changes, including the installation of wind turbines and solar panels. Money earned from selling electricity to the National Grid will help pay for the work. Other improvements include a single storey extension on the roof to create a residents’ sky lounge and IT suite with glass walls. Flats that needed internal work are being refurbished with a new kitchen, bathroom and electrical rewiring.
