Pwllheli sailing centre plans put on show
Members of the public have been given the opportunity to comment on initial plans for the development of an £8.3m National Sailing and Academy Centre in Pwllheli, North Wales.
Gwynedd Council held a consultation day on 17 January in order to display the proposals, which have been drawn up by Ellis Williams Architects and Dobson:Owen Architects.
Construction work is due to start later this year, with the new facility opening in 2013. It is hoped the scheme will enable Pwllheli to attract larger and more frequent sailing events.
The Welsh Assembly Government is contributing around £4m towards the project through the Targeted Match Fund and the European Regional Development Fund.
Gwynedd Council leader Dyfed Edwards said: "This flagship development will enable Pwllheli to attract bigger and more frequent races and competitions to the area.
"Along with the economic boost, the development will also provide local people, and children especially, the opportunity to take part in water sports."
The plans are currently on show at Pwllheli Sailing Club before moving onto Neuadd Dwyfor in Pwllehi town centre in the week commencing 23 January.
