In addition to the work already done under the Rhyl Going Forward Programme the planned harbour developments and the pedestrian and cycle bridge we have a number of other regeneration projects taking place in Rhyl, some near completion.
Rhyl Bus Station
Extensive regeneration has taken place at Rhyl Bus Station. The Station has been made fully accessible and has been dramatically modernised. It has also been redesigned to accommodate the heavy flow of vehicles and is equipped to cope with increased usage. The new Bus Station is much easier to navigate for people visiting the town and residents. These much needed improvements have provided a new, attractive gateway into our town.
Marsh Tracks
The vision of this £1 million scheme is to provide Rhyl with the first closed circuit and BMX cycle track in North Wales. The site where work is now in progress is at the disused landfill site at the end of Marsh Road. The circuit will be constructed and owned by Denbighshire County Council but leased and operated by a private company with charitable status. The circuit will be built to national standards and the arena will be a traffic free for cyclist to practice, train, coach and compete. The objective will be to nurture and promote cycle sport in North Wales and create an Olympic standard training programme with the aim of producing a Welsh Olympic champion within 10 years. A programme of events will include regional and national events and the profit raised from such events will be reinvested to encourage young people from the local community to participate in sport.
Marsh Tracks aims to have the following buildings and facilities at the centre
• Road cycle track 1.2 kilometres x 5 metres wide with 2 x 8 metre finishing straight
• BMX national standard - 302 metres, 3 corners & 12 jumps
• 60 space car park
• Club house with a pro shop, cafe bar, office and full service locker rooms
• Biodiversity site
• Spectator viewing area (2000 capacity)
• Storage unit
• Camping area
The Townscape Heritage Initiative
The THI project is a national initiative funded through the Heritage Lottery Fund which aims to restore prominent and iconic buildings in towns that are in need of work. Many buildings in Rhyl have already been regenerated in this way, including the Corner Café on West Parade, the Victory Club on Queen Street and Les and Rita’s Café on Queen Street. Please see our link to the THI pages for more information and pictures.
