press release

People living in Ceinws are to be asked how they would like to see their community re-developed as moves to brighten up the area are announced.

19/1/2004

A study will be carried out between now and March to discover people's priorities before plans are formed which could completely re-shape the village and surrounding area.

This exciting opportunity to revitalise the area is being promoted by ecodyfi, which is working with Forestry Commission Wales and Communities First to explore how the site may be better used.

Most of the buildings on the Forestry Commission Wales site in the village are unused and some are dilapidated. There is also some hard-standing and other land. Two buildings are occupied on short-term leases and there are two houses.

"We would like to find out what people in Ceinws and Esgairgeiliog would like to see happen on the site and how they would like to be involved," said Andy Rowland of ecodyfi.

"For example, would enough people use a new village hall and what would they use it for? We also need to hear from people who may like to run a business from the site. What kind of facilities would they need?"

The Welsh Development Agency has provided some funding so that ecodyfi can appoint professionals to help discover the answers to these and others questions.

They will consider planning and access issues, the compatibility of any proposals received, outline designs and costs, and how such a facility might be funded and managed. One option might be for the community itself to own and manage the site.

"Anybody with opinions or suggestions for the use of Ceinws Camp shouldn't hesitate to contact me. Ideas do not have to be connected with woodworking or the timber industry," said Andy.
