115 High Street is a listed building positioned on the main street in Merthyr Tydfil and was not only an eyesore but was also structurally dangerous. Vibrant and Viable Places (VVP) funding has enabled a local Housing Association to acquire this Grade II listed property in Merthyr Tydfil High Street which was in a severely poor state of disrepair. The funding has enabled the development of the building into 2 new homes and provides an opportunity for business enterprise on the ground floor.
