Denbighshire County Council has announced an allocation of
£40,000 for shop front renovation grants.
The amount will be divided between the county’s eight main
towns, giving £5,000 to each town council, including Llangollen.
The grant aims to provide 50% of the funding towards a
facelift scheme up to a maximum of £1,000.
Applications are to be submitted to the town council which
will either approve or reject them.
Where there is over-subscription of the scheme, the town
council will use a scoring process giving priority for a grant to those shops
it feels are best placed to receive funding.
Deadline for applications, which was originally set at
December 20, has been moved to March 20.
Once approved by the town council, grant payments will be
made by the county council.
In a report outlining the scheme considered by members of
the town council at their meeting on Tuesday, town clerk Gareth Thomas said
that such schemes had been successful in the past and had improved a number of
properties in town centres.
He added: “The scheme is worthy of support.”
He also said in the report he was confident that the extra
workload it would mean could be handled by the council.
