Greenhill Construction, the company which had applied for permission to build houses at The Glebelands, south of the Glan Usk School, is reported to be in administration. Nevertheless, the application is going ahead, for 248 homes, including flats and houses.

Linc Cymru, owners of the former Durham Road School site, say their plans for a care home have been delayed. Linc wrote to residents before Christmas to say they would be ready to start work after appointing contractors.

RESIDENTS in Old Barn are demanding to know when planned improvements to blocks of flats in the area will be carried out.
