Deeside street enhancement scheme
Published: 30/09/2014
Grants to improve the external appearance of shops and commercial premises
within the Deeside town centres of Connah’s Quay, Garden City, Shotton and
Queensferry are being made available through Flintshire County Council.
The Deeside street frontage enhancement grant scheme is funded by the Welsh
Government Vibrant and Viable Places programme which allocates money to
regenerate counties across Wales.
The scheme provides grants for property owners and tenants to refurbish shop
fronts and commercial building frontages as an important step towards enhancing
the local shopping and trading experience in the Deeside town centres.
Councillor Derek Butler, Flintshire County Councils cabinet member for
Economic Development said: “The programme recognises the important role that
town centres and shopping areas play in the life of the County. An attractive
street which is well-designed and well-managed can improve the vibrancy and
viability of Deeside’s town centres and encourage other investment into the
areas.”
A maximum grant of up to £15,000 per property is available, with the grant
funding available up to 50 per cent of the total cost of the improvements.
