SWG Construction Commences Work on £2.7m Community Hub and School Extension at Ysgol Bro Elwern

SWG Construction is pleased to confirm that work has officially commenced on a new multipurpose facility that will provide significant benefits for both residents and pupils in the heart of Gwyddelwern.

The £2.7 million scheme will deliver a new community hub and school extension at Ysgol Bro Elwern. The project is part funded by the Welsh Government through the Welsh Language Capital and Universal Primary Free School Meals grants, supporting the delivery of a new classroom and a state-of-the-art kitchen for the primary school.

The community hub is funded by the UK Government as part of a wider programme investing in 10 capital projects aimed at protecting Ruthin’s unique heritage while strengthening wellbeing and supporting rural communities.

The new hub will feature a large hall and flexible meeting spaces, providing high-quality facilities for social, educational and community use. The school will also benefit from a new classroom, modern kitchen and ancillary spaces, with access to the onsite hall to support a wide range of activities. The building will be managed by the Community Council and will accommodate Cylch Meithrin, alongside use by the school, local community groups and the Post Office.


Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families said:
“The turf-cutting ceremony is a significant milestone to an important project that will make a real difference to the pupils of Ysgol Bro Elwern as well as the community in Gwyddelwern.
“The project will not only provide new state of the art facilities for one of our schools, but it will also provide a vital community hub for the community.
“I would like to thank the local member, Councillor Hugh Evans, and the Community Council for their commitment throughout this process and Denbighshire County Council are excited to support the project as it progresses.”

 

Shaun Humphries, Director of SWG Construction, added:
“We are proud to be delivering a facility that will benefit both the school and the local community. Projects like this demonstrate our commitment to creating lasting value through a high-quality build designed to meet local needs for years to come.”
