Sam Rowlands, Member of the Welsh Parliament for North Wales, is urging people to have their say on plans to promote Llangollen.
He said: “I think it is an excellent idea to let people who live, work and visit the town to have their say on its future plans.
“I am
delighted to see the project, in the Clwyd South constituency, coming to
fruition thanks to funding from Round 1 of the UK Government’s Levelling Up
Fund and a joint application for money from Denbighshire County Council and
Wrexham County Borough Council.
“It is
great to see investment in this popular tourist destination which can
only enhance and improve the area for local people and visitors alike. It is
also good to see how the Levelling Up Fund is delivering
for people in North Wales.”
Llangollen's
residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to share their views on a
project aimed at promoting and enhancing the four great ‘highways’ of
Llangollen: the Llangollen Canal and World Heritage Site, the former Ruabon to
Barmouth railway line, the River Dee and Thomas Telford’s historic route, the
A5 Holyhead Road.
The
aim is to improve the visitor experience and increase the amount of time people
choose to spend in the area. Proposed works include providing landscape and
engineering improvement works to enhance accessibility and biodiversity, as
well as making it easier for visitors to understand what is available in the
area and how to find it.
The four key areas which have been identified are:
Wharf; Access points to the Wharf, Railway and Lower Dee Mill Park; Lower Dee
Mill Park and Signage & Wayfinding (including visitor information in car
parks)
The
Levelling Up Fund is intended to invest in infrastructure that improves
everyday life across the UK. The fund supports town centre and high street
regeneration, local transport projects, and cultural and heritage assets.
The
Levelling Up funding allocated to Denbighshire in Round 1 amounts to £3.8m and
will benefit the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding
areas.
