Being constructed on the site of a former primary school in Brynmenyn, the project will bring a range of services for children and young people.

Contractor Prichard’s is responsible for undertaking the demolition of the former school building which has been lying vacant since 2018 when the complete school shifted to a new location.

It is expected to take up to 12 weeks for demolition and site clearance.

The demolition is the first phase of this project helping to make way for the development of the new children’s placement and assessment hub.”
