Question
Will the Minister outline the Welsh Government's plans for the regeneration of town centres in North Wales?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Climate Change
In January 2020, my Deputy Minister announced our Transforming Towns agenda with a package of support for town centres which is now worth nearly £136 million. This investment remains vital in supporting our town centres.
The Transforming Towns programme in North Wales has a budget of £9.1m for 2021/22. Part of this funding is for the new Place Making Grant which gives greater flexibility to Local Authorities to prioritise support and make use of a range of options available to best suit each individual location. This also builds upon the £12m recyclable Loan Funding available for North Wales.
The Regional Regeneration Plan is being refreshed and Consultants are working with the six Local Authorities to identify future priorities.
