Work on redeveloping Maesteg town hall has been delayed once again, with a time for completion now pushed back to 2023. The multi-million-pound project, which cost around £7.9m, was initially scheduled to be completed last spring before delays had pushed it back to the summer.
However, after what was described as additional delays due to the pandemic, the project will now be delayed further until 2023, though no exact date has yet been announced. When speaking of the development a Bridgend Council spokesperson said while the project was progressing well, delays had been unavoidable due to the pandemic as well as additional repairs that needed to be carried out.
They said: "The Maesteg Town Hall re-development project is progressing well, with completion of an array of key elements and more recently the commencement of the new build extension fronting Talbot Street. However, the overall project has unavoidably been delayed primarily due to the pandemic, but also due to discovery items such as the clock tower repairs, ground contamination, and further roof works and internal conservation work required to safeguard this iconic 141-year-old Grade II Listed building."
