The Welsh Government has allocated an additional £17 million to help local authorities deliver regeneration projects that will transform town and city centres across Wales.
The funding boost increases the Transforming Towns budget for 2025-26 from £40 million to £57 million to support more projects that can deliver on our regeneration ambitions.
This investment will create jobs, boost economic activity and breathe new life into high streets and town centres nationwide.
The Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, announced the funding while visiting exemplar regeneration sites in Wrexham.
Wrexham City centre is currently benefitting from more than £10 million in Transforming Towns funding, with works either delivered or nearing completion.
This includes the newly refurbished indoor Butchers’ Market, which received £2.5 million in grant funding from the Welsh Government. The improvements have created quality independent retail provision, increased footfall and enhanced city centre vibrancy.
High Street improvements have also created pedestrian-friendly spaces with green infrastructure and international-style areas for bars and restaurants.
