Decision details

The report of the Head of Regulation and Economic Development setting out the current position and progress with regard to re-developing the former school and library site, Holyhead was presented for the Executive’s consideration.

The Executive was advised that the former Ysgol Y Parc and Library site extends to 4.1 acres and sits on the edge of Holyhead Town Centre. The work of demolishing the former school and library buildings was completed in the summer 2020 with the site now derelict and secured with fencing. After securing Targeted Regeneration Investment funding from Welsh Government, external consultants were commissioned by the Regulation and Economic Development Service to prepare an initial masterplan for the site to identify potential options for its full redevelopment with a focus on creating jobs, opportunities, inward investment and regenerating an important town centre site. This process has been delayed by the Covid 19 pandemic; the report therefore provides a summary of progress to date and sets out the considerations involved in progressing the further additional development activities identified in the report.

The Executive considered the report and agreed with the recommendations for moving forwards.

It was resolved to proceed in accordance with the recommendations set out in the report.
