A housing initiative in mid Wales has seen ground broken on 34 affordable council properties across two separate locations.
The development encompasses 16 single-storey dwellings constructed on land previously occupied by an educational establishment in Welshpool.
Additional residential units are taking shape in Llanrhaeadr-ym-Mochnant, situated close to the Maes yr Esgob residential area.
The local authority is collaborating with a regional building firm to execute the project, which aligns with broader efforts to expand the availability of reasonably priced housing throughout the county.
The development forms part of a strategic programme to enhance housing options for residents across Powys.
The construction involves 34 insulated, energy-efficient homes designed to help occupants manage their living expenses.
The dwellings have been planned to address specific requirements within the local community.
Within the Welshpool location, 16 single-storey units are being built on the cleared school grounds.
The scheme in the village provides 18 properties comprising houses with one, two and three bedrooms, single-storey options and one-bedroom apartments, offering accommodation suited to various household requirements.
Funding support for the project has been provided by the Welsh Government.
The residential units will be owned and administered by the local authority and distributed to applicants via the coordinated housing allocation system.
