Wynne Construction secures £11m Bodelwyddan housing project
Work on the £11million project is expected to start this summer, with completion due in spring 2027. The design phase is already underway.
Wynne has also been appointed to construct 47 social homes on Berse Road in Wrexham.
The £9 million development - consist of apartments and a mixture of two, three, and four-bedroom homes that are available to rent - is due for completion in autumn 2026.
Work on the scheme started in March.
Simon Moreton, Wynne Construction commercial director, said: 'We have previously worked on behalf of Adra on major builds including Plas Penhros and Pen Y Ffridd, so I'm looking forward to continuing our positive relationship.
'As usual, we will engage with local suppliers to not only provide the necessary materials, but to boost the region's economy.'
Corey Jones, Wynne Construction quantity surveyor, said: 'With around 80 to 100 people expected to work on each site at peak times, both developments will have a busy environment, but thanks to our experienced and skilled team members, I'm confident we will deliver quality results.
'In addition, we aim to give back to the community by welcoming apprentices and work experience students on site to give them real insight into the construction industry.'

Inner London to lose out in funding rebalance, says IFS report
Councils in inner London are set to become the biggest losers under a government plan to update council funding rules, a think tank Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found some London boroughs could see their funding levels drop up to 12% once inflation is taken into areas in outer London are set to gain from the changes, the researchers found, along with urban areas outside the capital including Nottingham, Wolverhampton and government argues the overhaul is necessary because councils' funding has become out of step with local demand for services. The new funding system, to be phased in over three years from 2026, will see changes to the formulas used by government to capture levels of demand for council-run services, along with the differing cost of delivering them.A greater share of funding will be redirected towards areas with a higher share of properties in lower council tax bands, whilst the portion of business rates income that councils have been allowed to keep since 2013 will be IFS predicts the proposed changes are set to redistribute around £2.1bn in annual government funding, with 186 authorities losing out and 161 will not be possible to say exactly what the changes will mean for each area until the plans are finalised later this the think tank said Camden, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Wandsworth and Westminster would see their overall funding drop by 11–12%, even accounting for a proposed funding floor to limit areas are set to lose out under the government's proposed method to even out differences in council tax revenues, given they have low rates and many properties in higher bands, it added.

'Decisive action' A spokesperson for the local government department said: "The current, outdated way in which local authorities are funded means the link between funding and need for services has broken down, leaving communities left behind."That's why we are taking decisive action to reform the funding system so we can get councils back on their feet and improve public services". Although there is widespread agreement among councils that the current system is badly in need of updating, designing a new one poses a political headache for ministers ahead of a significant set of local elections due next local leaders have warned that current funding levels do not cover the rising cost of mandatory services such as adult social care and special educational needs, despite real-terms funding increases in more recent years.

Social Housing Associations Highlight Community Impact at Eisteddfod
Providing a quality home is essential to people's health and well-being and has wider positive impacts on the local community. That was one of the key discussion points at a discussion hosted by four north Wales social housing associations on the Eisteddfod Maes in Wrexham. The impact of the housing sector, the importance of the social value provided to local communities, supporting tenants through the cost of living crisis and community engagement were some of the other key topics discussed at the session. On the panel were Iwan Trefor Jones, Chief Executive of Adra; Osian Elis, Head of Supported Housing at North Wales Housing Association, Ffion Pittendreigh, Community Initiatives Manager at Grŵp Cynefin, Claire Morgan, Head of People from ClwydAlyn and Dafydd Gruffydd, Managing Director of Menter Môn. A panel spokesperson said: 'We were delighted to host such an important discussion on the Eisteddfod Maes. 'Social housing associations across north Wales provide a valuable role and have a significant impact on communities, providing quality homes and being significant employers. 'But we are more than simply housing associations- we provide a range of additional support to our customers. 'The cost of living crisis continues to have an impact on tenants right across the region and we have been providing a supporting role through helping direct tenants to advice and financial support. This helps their health and well-being in terms of maximising their income and providing practical energy efficiency advice and support to reduce increasing fuel bills. 'Community engagement is a significant element of our work. We work with a range of community groups to arrange educational, environmental and social events and initiatives to support our tenants. This is supported by projects to make our communities safer. 'The social housing sector also supports the local economy by awarding contracts to small and medium sized businesses, as well as larger contractors. This helps keep the pound local, supports local firms to employ local staff and helps protect the Welsh language and culture by providing quality jobs locally. 'But we cannot do this work alone and we have examples of great partnership within the housing sector regionally and nationally, but also with a wide range of public, voluntary and private sectors – all working together to support tenants and help our communities across north Wales to thrive.'

Seven steps to efficiently pass on your buy-to-let properties
Failing to think about what will happen to your properties when you die or want to retire could have costly implications for you and your family. That's why it's vital to have a buy-to-let succession plan in place. With the inheritance tax threshold frozen at £325,000 for another five years and the news that, from April 2027, pensions will be added to the value of your estate on death, more and more landlords are expected to be drawn into the inheritance tax net. Yet a recent survey by the National Residential Landlord Association revealed a lack of forward-thinking among property investors. A third of landlords said they had not considered their future tax liabilities, rising to 43pc for landlords living in London. With some careful planning, however, steps can be taken to protect the value of your buy-to-lets when you pass them on to the next generation. Here are some things to consider. Calculate the inheritance tax impact Knowing your estate's future liability payable on your death is a good place to start, said Robert Leatherland, financial adviser at Bespoke Wealth. 'Landlords will often own their main residence, as well as other assets including investment property, and soon unused personal pension values will also form part of the estate for inheritance tax purposes, increasing the liability even further,' he explained. 'It's important that you understand the overall value of your assets, the future inheritance tax position and the impact this will have on what's being passed on to your loved ones. Seeking advice early on is a crucial part of forming a robust financial plan.' Some landlords who want or need to continue receiving rental income in retirement may decide to do nothing if they're comfortable losing a portion of their buy-to-let's value to the taxman after they have died. However, those properties are likely to continue to rise in value, thus pushing the liability even higher. In addition, holding your properties in a limited company, while more tax-efficient for some landlords, won't shield you from this so-called 'death tax'. A limited company that purely holds residential property will still form part of the estate for inheritance tax purposes. Knowing how much tax your beneficiaries and loved ones could potentially be landed with often kick-starts landlords into taking action early. Tax and estate planning Giving gifts or selling property to reduce the value of your estate, or unburden yourself of your landlord duties in retirement, is often the first port of call, but this could trigger capital gains tax. In particular, landlords who have held buy-to-let properties for decades could face a steep tax bill thanks to soaring house prices – so selling up could generate a significant charge as well as the loss of income. This is where estate planning comes in, said Leatherland: 'Under the current rules, capital gains tax is less than the 40pc you'll pay in inheritance tax. By selling a property, although you'll incur capital gains tax on the sale, you're reducing the value of your estate on death, lowering the potential inheritance tax liability for your future beneficiaries. 'Once you have liquidated the property, you can seek advice on what to do with the money to both mitigate future tax liabilities and take an income, depending on your objectives.' Choosing an inheritance tax-friendly way of purchasing your buy-to-let properties from the outset is also part of a solid succession plan. A family investment company, for example, can be used to purchase properties. This type of company allows you to pass down shares to future generations in a more efficient way than a standard limited company. Strategies for gifts Whether you're planning to retire and want to pass on your properties or business to younger family members, or you simply want to reduce the inheritance tax liability on your estate, it's important to think about your strategy for giving property as a a gift. You can give away your buy-to-lets to family or friends to remove them from your estate and, if you survive the gift for seven years, no inheritance tax will be payable. If you die within seven years, some inheritance tax is due, with the exact amount calculated using a staggered system known as 'taper relief'.
