Welsh Government is encouraging an increase in remote working and has set a long-term ambition for 30% of the Welsh workforce to work away from a traditional office, to be achieved by giving people more options and choice on their workplace.
This ambition is intended to help town centres, reduce congestion and cut carbon emissions.
In Haverfordwest HaverHub’s new coworking space offers a space to work in the community, while TownSq’s latest hub Costigan’s in Rhyl town centre has undergone a refurbishment and will have desks for local people to work remotely – in partnership with Denbighshire County Council.
In the Swansea Valley area ‘Indycube’ are trialling turning underused office areas and community centres into community working spaces.
All three projects are inviting employees and businesses to come forward if they would like to try working locally to where they live and rent space in order to provide more choice for their employees. Where applicable the desks are free for the period of the 12-month pilots which will be open when COVID-19 restrictions allow.
