The Welsh Government is providing an additional £31.5 million to local authorities to deliver regeneration projects that will transform town centres across Wales.
The funding will be used by nine local authorities to help deliver projects such as Y Storfa in Swansea, the Queen’s Market in Rhyl and the demolition of Newport Leisure Centre.
This extra funding was confirmed by the Welsh Government at the end of the last financial year, bringing the total investment for 2024/25 to an impressive £70 million.
Our towns and city centres bring people together, sustain local economies, and underpin communities’ sense of pride, heritage and belonging. The Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns Programme is helping to revitalise and breathe new life into these spaces.
Since its launch in 2020, the programme has awarded more than £314 million in grant and loan funding to support regeneration across Wales. All 22 local authorities receive funding from the Transforming Towns programme.
The Welsh Government has protected budgets for the Transforming Towns Programme, with £40 million available for 2025/26.
