Financial Lifeline For Flintshire’s Rural Community Buildings

Details: Category: North Wales

A new £475,000 fund is set to provide a lifeline for community halls and buildings across rural Flintshire.

The makeover scheme is being masterminded by the rural regeneration agency, Cadwyn Clwyd.

One of the first groups to take advantage of the fund was the Darby and Joan Club in Mold. They have been able to transform their premises in Grosvenor Road, thanks to a major grant from the fund. It has provided £18,657 for the building, which was falling into disrepair and has now been transformed into a bright, spacious and well equipped hall for local people to use.

Carmarthenshire’s Railway Heritage Uncovered

Details: Category: South West Wales

The platforms of a former railway station in north Carmarthenshire have been uncovered after years of being hidden from view by a dense blanket of brambles and weeds.

Clearing and renovation work has been ongoing at Bro’r Orsaf, Llanfihangel ar Arth, over the last few months as part of a community effort to celebrate the history of the area.

The local history club was successful in applying for two grants to help with the scheme: a Tidy Towns grant provided by the Welsh Government, and an Environmental Works Project grant provided by Carmarthenshire County Council as part of its £203 million Carmarthenshire Homes Standard project.
