Denbighshire County Council is pleased to have secured £10.95m from Round 2 of the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund to support the development of 10 projects which are intended to protect Ruthin’s unique heritage, support rural communities and well-being.
This funding scheme was open to local authorities to submit bids around the themes of addressing regeneration, heritage or transport.
The proposals included for the Clwyd West constituency were supported by the constituency MP David Jones and local elected members.
Denbighshire County Council will be responsible for delivering 8 of the projects. Dyffryn Clwyd Mission will deliver the St Peter’s Church and Cloister’s project and Bryneglwys Cymdeithas Canolfan Ial Association will deliver the Bryneglwys School - Community Hub project.
The full list of projects is available below.
Further development work is required and the Council will be consulting on projects later this year (expected spring 2024). All timescales are currently provisional and are subject to change.
