Placemaking grants
Grants of up to £30,000 are available for improving small commercial and district shopping centres across the City and County of Swansea which are outside the city centre (subject to subsidy control rules).
All schemes will need to be completed by 30 November 2024.
All schemes will require at least 30% of the total project costs to be match funded from another source.
The schemes considered will focus on the built environment and include interventions such as the refurbishment and repurposing of empty and derelict buildings; improving biodiversity through green infrastructure; and improvements to public spaces.
The purpose of the investment is to boost the variety of services on offer in towns; create flexible working and living space; celebrate and preserve local heritage so that it is safeguarded for future generations; and increase access to services and leisure.
This grant is funded by UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund (Transforming County Anchor Project).
