Future development
The community needs assessment has clearly identified the facilities required to meet current needs and provide for the rapid change in communication and information technology.
From old to new.
Designed to meet the needs of the community of Drefach and the locality.
As a result of the community survey and focus groups, plans were prepared so that the needs were met. There were meetings with the architect and an innovative plan was developed to respond to the demand for contemporary and attractive facilities.
For children and parents they wanted a place to meet and extend ideas about the children's development, young people who wanted to use the resource to practice contemporary technology and instruments and older people who wanted to see a place to drop in for a coffee, when of food and to the food bank. These are just examples and there is a thorough analysis of the responses in the series of surveys above.
