Commercial properties in Rhyl town centre have had a facelift thanks to funding.

A project led by Denbighshire County Council’s Economic Business Development team saw a number of commercial properties upgraded via the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns Grant.

A total of £130,000 was provided in grant funding towards the improvements, with property owners providing match funding.

Improvements included an upgrade to the former Woolworths building in East Parade, with new windows, shutters, tiles and a full re-paint. New wooden sash windows were installed in a building in Wellington Road, in keeping with the conservation area.

The project also brought a building that had been dormant for several years back into commercial use.

Emlyn Jones, the council’s Head of Planning, Public Protection and Countryside Services, said:

“Through the Transforming Towns Grant provided by Welsh Government, we have managed to work with a number of businesses and business owners in Rhyl, helping them to add visual improvements onto their buildings.

“Through providing this, many buildings within Rhyl’s Town Centre now have a refreshed look, including one building that had been dormant for many years.”
