Coastal communities and town centres will receive a £6 million boost as part of the Welsh Government’s £110m Transforming Towns Programme.

Delivered by The National Lottery Community Fund, Welsh Government said it had has stepped in to provide this support after the 海角视频 Government decided not to continue with the Coastal Communities Fund in England.

They said that decision meant that the Welsh Government would no longer receive a share of Crown Estate marine revenue that has been used since 2011 to support the Coastal Community Fund in Wales.

The fund is designed to support the economic development of coastal areas, promote sustainable jobs and bring regeneration to coastal town centres and high streets.

This latest investment will enable the delivery of projects worth £17 million in total through 27 projects.

Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government, Hannah Blythyn said: “The Coastal Communities Fund provides a major boost to coastal towns by supporting town centres as part of our Transforming Towns agenda along with the wider economic and social regeneration of coastal communities.

“Supporting coastal communities to not only survive but thrive has always been a priority for this Government.

"This is why, despite the 海角视频 Government discontinuing their support, we have stepped in to provide this much needed funding. Given the turbulent last year for businesses and towns across Wales, it is fantastic that we have been able to continue this fund which will support our coastal towns and communities when they need it most.”
