TG Williams Builders Ltd delivered a new single‑storey After School Facility for Wrexham County Borough Council within the grounds of Ysgol Alexandra. Completed under a JCT Minor Works Building Contract, the £400K project provides a modern, purpose‑built space designed to enhance wraparound childcare provision for the local community.

The new building features a raft foundation, high‑quality brick and tile construction, and energy‑efficient aluminium windows and doors. Internally, it offers a bright, robust environment including a flexible activity room, kitchen/servery, accessible WC facilities, storage areas, and full mechanical and electrical installations. Externally, works included a secure play area, new drainage, surfacing, kerbs, edgings, and soft landscaping.

Delivered within a live school environment, the project required careful planning, safeguarding measures and close coordination to minimise disruption. The result is a durable, efficient and welcoming facility that supports pupil wellbeing and long‑term community needs.

The scheme also contributes to the Well‑being of Future Generations (Wales) Act by promoting a healthier, more equal and more resilient Wales. It supports Welsh‑medium childcare, uses long‑life materials to reduce environmental impact, and strengthens local employment and skills.

This project reflects TG Williams Builders Ltd’s commitment to building high‑quality educational spaces and supporting North Wales communities.

A £328,000 refurbishment project on behalf of Anglesey County Council. The full refurbishment of 4 toilets was part of a project to improve the local facilities for locals and seasonal visitors.

The project aimed to address the pressing need for improved hygiene, accessibility and overall user experience within these essential amenities. By investing in the upgrade of public toilets, Anglesey is not only prioritising the well-being and comfort of its residents and tourists but also contributing to the promotion of tourism and community satisfaction.

The project, funded by the Welsh Government’s Flying Start Capital Grant, will give Ysgol Penmorfa the opportunity to provide more of their outstanding childcare to the local community!

The extension will increase the capacity of childcare provision allowing more local families to benefit from high quality childcare in Prestatyn. This will make a real difference to the lives of children and families in the area and give children access to learning from a young age. The facility is due to be completed in the spring of 2023.

Councillor Gill German Deputy Leader and Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:

“The Welsh Government funded Flying Start provision in Denbighshire is vital to support our families and to give our children access to high quality learning and care in early years. This is pivotal to child development. This extension at Ysgol Penmorfa will increase capacity for Flying Start childcare places within the area to extend our current offer. This is fantastic news for the community. I am delighted to see this happen and I am excited for the facility to be completed.”

Following the successful appointment of the building contractor TG Williams, work has now commenced on the site of the new Welsh Language Centre which will be located within the former science block building on the Ysgol Glan Clwyd site. The scheme has been funded by the Welsh Government’s Welsh Medium Education Capital Grant and Capital Funding of Early Years Provision.

Extensive refurbishment works will be undertaken to transform the former science block to a centre which will provide Welsh language provision for all ages including, pre-school pupils, support for latecomers to Welsh Medium education in KS 2 and 3, a facility for the development of Welsh Language resources and a potential base for Welsh Language delivery partners. In addition, the building will provide a location for the delivery of sabbatical courses by Bangor University which will boost the language skills of teachers.

Cllr Huw Hilditch-Roberts, Lead Member for Education, Children’s Services and Public Engagement said, “This Welsh Language Centre will be a great asset for the authority and will be a key site for supporting the delivery of Denbighshire’s Welsh in Education Strategic Plan 2017 – 2020. This plan sets out a long term vision and commitment to see every child and young person in Denbighshire leaving full-time education being competent and confident in Welsh and English. The Centre will also be an essential resource to aid in the achievement of the Welsh Government’s aim of increasing the number of Welsh speakers to 1 million by 2050.”

Wrexham’s new Visitor Information Centre (VIC) has now officially opened its doors to the public.

The facility, based on Chester Street, launched at the end of August and is now open Monday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm.

It aims to showcase what is on offer across the county borough and provide information and help to locals and those visiting the area.

As well as facilities to signpost visitors to what the county has to offer, the new VIC also has ‘flexible space’ which has been designed for events such as food demos and workshops as well as office space upstairs.

The centre relocated to Chester Street from Queens Square in 2021, after work creating a new state-of-the-art facility for visitors and tourists was completed. The name has changed from an older ‘TIC’ tourist information centre, to more visitor focus – so VIC.Councillor Nigel Williams, Wrexham Council’s Lead Member for Economy, said: “The VIC will be a wonderful resource for both residents and visitors, and we’ve been working really hard to get this facility open.
