A report recommends a 250-year lease of around £180,000, subject to an independent evaluation and a condition that it has a restricted use for affordable housing. The council says the car park would be closed while work to construct the flats takes place but part of it will return to its original use as a car park once the flats have been built. The council website says: “During the pandemic, the Welsh Government has required councils to offer accommodation to anyone who is homeless. “The council’s housing team and its partners have worked tirelessly to ensure people have been housed, particularly those living on the streets. This has been very successful with the majority of people taking up the offer of shelter and accessing other services.
