Good to see a town centre first approach being championed by WG. Hoping this marks a necessary shift in how we think about creating places with a rich mix of complementary uses that support sustainable living and public transport.
Delighted to take handover of our fantastic @WeAreTrivallis supported living scheme in Elm Road today.

The built environment has to secure us a sustainable future that helps address climate change, which is why we're happy to sign up to the #PlacemakingWales Charter
