New town and extra streets can now bid for paint scheme grants
New town and extra streets can now bid for paint scheme grants
A scheme supporting businesses in town centres to spruce up their exteriors is being extended to include Tenby.
Since the start of the year businesses on certain streets in some of Pembrokeshire’s biggest towns have been invited to access a Streetscape Paint Scheme, part of the County Council’s Street Enhancement Programme.
Tenby is the latest town to be included and businesses on High Street, Tudor Square, St Georges Street, Church Street, Upper and Lower Frog Street, and South Parade can apply for up to £4,999 per property.
The fund will support owners of eligible properties and tenants/leaseholders who have the written consent of the property owner. Grants can be used for the purchase of materials (primer, masonry undercoat and exterior masonry paint) or towards the cost of using a contractor.
Grants will provide 80 per cent of the total capital expenditure and schemes must be completed by November 2024.
Additional streets added to the scheme in towns already benefitting from the grant include Market Square and Main Street in Fishguard, Market Street and Picton Place in Haverfordwest, Pembroke Dock’s Meyrick Street and Northgate Street in Pembroke.
Cabinet Member for Place, the Region and Climate Change Cllr Paul Miller said: “This is just part of the County Council’s commitment to regenerate Pembrokeshire’s towns and their wider communities.”
Cllr Miller, who is also Deputy Leader of the Council, added: “Business owners can access funds to improve the overall look of their properties which in turn makes them a more attractive place to visit.
“We want our town centres to thrive and this scheme is one way to help support that.”
For full information on the Streetscape Paint Scheme, including details on grant eligibility and a link to apply for the scheme, please · view the Council’s Street Enhancement Programme page on their website · or email spfstreetenhancement@pembrokeshire.gov.uk
The project is funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and Levelling Up Fund to encourage vibrant town centres.
