More than £19.6 million in Welsh Government funding is set to revitalise town centres across Wales, delivering transformative regeneration projects that will create thriving spaces for communities to live, work and enjoy. Among the projects receiving support, Pembrokeshire County Council will benefit from up to £1,277,040 to support the redevelopment of the former Wilko, Haverfordwest.

Local authorities right across Wales will receive grant funding through the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns and Placemaking programmes to tackle empty properties, enhance public spaces and drive economic growth in communities that need it most.

Another project to receive support, will see Pembrokeshire County Council handed up to £100,000 to support works at 16-18 Bridge Street, Haverfordwest.

Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, said: "Town centres are the heart and soul of Welsh communities – places where people come together, where local businesses thrive, and where our sense of community is strongest.

"It's fantastic to see a further £19.6 million of funding being invested in projects right across Wales that will breathe new life into our high streets, support local traders, and create the vibrant, welcoming spaces that our communities deserve.”
