The Pentwyn address became a fly-tipping hotspot after the convenience store shut down<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

FAMILIES who have experienced homelessness have moved into smart new homes built on the site of an old supermarket which became an eyesore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the old Morrisons on Pentwyn Drive closed in 2016, it had become a well-known littering and fly-tipping hotspot, attracting vandalism and anti-social behaviour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But housing association Linc Cymru has changed all that, bulldozing the store – once the site of the Pentwyn Arms pub – and building new homes in its place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents moved into the newly-opened apartment block, which boasts 20 two-bedroom and eight one-bedroom apartments, on September 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These apartments have been leased to Cardiff Council and are being used to house families who have faced homelessness and who had previously been living in hotels and B&Bs in Cardiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
