A drop-in information event will be held in Ruthin on the 18th of July to provide an opportunity for the public to learn more about the exciting work that is due to take place in Ruthin and surrounding communities as part of the Clwyd West Levelling Up programme.
On the 19th of January Denbighshire Council was delighted to receive confirmation that they had secured £10.95m from the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund for the Clwyd West constituency to support the development of 10 projects aimed at protecting Ruthin’s unique heritage, wellbeing and rural communities. The proposals were supported by the constituency MP David Jones and local elected members.
These projects are expected to be delivered by March 2025 with construction work likely to begin later next year.
There are 2 main strands to the Clwyd West Levelling Up programme. The first will focus on protecting Ruthin’s unique heritage and wellbeing through public realm enhancements and revitalising historical buildings and landmarks to support local identity, promote pride of place and boost the image of the town.
The second will focus on protecting Ruthin’s rural communities and wellbeing through improvements to the AONB sites of Loggerheads and Moel Famau and new community hubs in the rural surrounding villages of Bryneglwys and Gwyddelwern.
The council will be responsible for delivering 8 of the projects, while Dyffryn Clwyd Mission and Bryneglwys Cymdeithas Canolfan Ial Association will deliver the final 2 projects.
The information event will provide an introduction to the 10 successful projects and provide an opportunity to speak with Project Teams about the proposals. The event will be held at Ruthin Gaol where the public are invited to drop-in any time between 1pm and 7pm.
Cllr Jason McLellan, Council Leader and Lead Member for Economic Growth & Tackling Deprivation, said: “The Clwyd West Levelling Up programme will deliver 10 projects intended to ensure that the rich culture and heritage of Ruthin and the surrounding communities are protected. We look forward to bringing these projects into fruition and encourage anyone living in the area to pop in to this event to find out more about these exciting developments.”
