Fire safety compliance isn’t just a box to tick. For building owners, operators, and portfolio managers, it’s a serious legal responsibility—and a key part of keeping people safe.
£10 million for Welsh towns and cities
The Welsh Government has made available £10m in Financial Transaction Capital to fund regeneration projects across the country.
The Transforming Towns Loans programme supports local authorities with town and city centre regeneration projects and has allocated more than £62m since its launch in 2014.
The scheme has the aim of reducing the number of vacant and underutilised sites and buildings to diversify town centre offers and increase footfall.
The money also encourages more sustainable uses for empty premises.
Local authorities are invited to apply for the town centre loan funding to invest in their communities and deliver regeneration regeneration projects. Applications close on 10 January.
The cabinet secretary for housing and local government, Jayne Bryant said: “Our Transforming Towns Loans programme improves the places where people live and work, creating a sense of place and vibrant high streets.
"Empty and disused buildings are a wasted resource in our communities, and our town centre funding will create job opportunities and bring life back to high streets and disused and forgotten buildings at the heart of their town centres.
"I encourage local authorities to utilise this funding and look forward to seeing their plans to create job opportunities and bring life back to the forgotten buildings in the heart of their communities."
