New life for Ruthin homes

A large scale refurbishment programmes of a row of abandoned terraced houses in the heart of Ruthin is complete and handed over, creating new, quality homes for local people.

Set on Mwrog Street in a prominent position within Ruthin Town Centre, the houses have now been transformed following acquisition by North Wales Housing as part of the Denbighshire Empty Homes scheme.

New tenants have now been allocated to all of the homes and keys handed over to the two houses, two flats, and two new bungalows that have been built to the rear. Following initial demolition works of ancillary buildings, refurbishment works began by local contractor K&C who then stripped the building back to its bare fabric and began the long term project of restoration.

With a demand in Ruthin to develop homes for local people, the scheme also enhances the town centre, serving to boost further regeneration and encourage people back to the town.

Phil Danson of North Wales Housing said:

“This scheme embodies the empty homes ethos and meets all of our objectives in terms of creating homes, transforming areas and utilising good existing buildings and bringing them in line with modern needs and standards.”

“It’s great to now see our new tenants make the move and began to enjoy life in their new homes.”
