Rhyl buildings see visual improvements thanks to Transforming Towns programme
A successful project led by Denbighshire County Council’s Economic Business Development team has supported a number of commercial properties in Rhyl town centre to regenerate and improve their premises.
As a result of the investment through the Welsh Government funded Transforming Towns Grant, visual improvements have been made to many prominent buildings in Rhyl’s town centre, alongside bringing a building that had been dormant for several years back into commercial use.
Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns Grant has provided £130,000 towards these improvements, with property owners providing match funding.

Emlyn Jones, 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.
I would like to thank all of the business owners that the council has worked with during this period.”
