Work looks almost complete on Four Highways projects


* The new walkway at Lower Dee Mill Park.

The raised walkway at Lower Dee Mill Park and the new staircase up to the wharf appear to be rapidly nearing completion as these pictures by llanblogger show.  

Both projects are part of Llangollen's Four Great Highways scheme which has been funded with money from the previous UK Government's Levelling Up policy. 

The aim was to “enhance the landscape and improve accessibility, interpretation and signage in the centre of Llangollen”.  


* The new staircase up to the wharf from Abbey Road. 

The deadline for completion of the work has been pushed back twice - to June then August - after contractors encountered unexpectedly difficult ground conditions.  

Latest deadline for completion given recently by the project team was late September which it appears will now be achieved.

The signage and wayfinding aspect of the project was also due to be installed before the end of September 2024.

The Levelling Up application was supported by former MP for the area Simon Baynes and £3.8 million was allocated to Denbighshire to invest in the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding areas.  

* Meanwhile Denbighshire County Council workmen were busy this morning (Thursday) with maintenance work on the pavement in Castle Street.
