The Vale of Glamorgan Council has unveiled plans for a new Health and Wellbeing Hub in Barry, after purchasing three commercial units on Thompson Street using Welsh Government Funding.

The proposals are set to be delivered in partnership with Cardiff and Vale Health Board and Swansea Bay Health Board.

It's said that the hub will provide a variety of services in one location, including day opportunities and community facilities for adults with care and support needs in a building close to other services and transport links.

Cllr Eddie Williams, Vale pf Glamorgan Council Cabinet Member for Health and Social Care, said “This development’s central town location will make it easier for people to access the support they need, leading to improved outcomes.

“It is an example of the Council’s collaborative approach, in which we work with partner organisations to deliver the best provision possible for our residents.

“Having different services in one place will create an integrated, holistic approach that is more efficient and will provide better care.

“The project is part of wider regeneration work taking place in Barry and will help bring space that was previously empty back into use.

“Elsewhere, plans are progressing to redevelop the old Wilko building on Holton Road, while increased cleansing activity through our street scene service is also already underway.”

The Council says that work has already begun on the interior of the building and a funding application for an internal refit will soon be submitted to the Welsh Government, with further details to be announced in the coming days.
