The image showcases the architectural charm of these maisonette-style flats nestled within the vibrant community of Gurnos, Merthyr Tydfil. The reconditioned estate stands tall and proud against the backdrop of lush greenery and blue skies that epitomize the beauty of Wales. These flats hold immense significance as they were specifically designed to accommodate young offenders seeking a fresh start.
