Wood Store in the Remploy Building

New Location for Ystrad Woodstore
Monday, April 12th, 2010The Ystrad Woodstore is no longer to be found down the industrial units on the Trawsffordd estate. From the beginning of April, it has moved all of its operations to the old Remploy Factory in Wind Road, Glanrhyd, just opposite from Lyte Ladders.
At the moment there is no direct phone line, as the mobile for the Woodstore is receiving no signal in this new location. Any contact for the Woodstore needs to go via the Volunteer Centre – please ring 01639 849192.
Major Works
Thursday, March 25th, 2010Bringing the old Remploy factory up to scratch is a major undertaking, refitting the electrics, erecting partitions, resurrecting the toilets, and laying new carpets – and much more. The Wood Store has begun to move its operations and stock across, and hopes to open there to the public after the first week in early April.
