Local Schemes get Assembly cash boost
Local projects in South West Wales are set to receive a share of Assembly funding.
Neath-Afan Gymnastics Club and St Barnabas Church in Waunarlwydd, Swansea have benefited from the Assembly Government’s Community Facilities and Activities Programme.
The Neath-Afan Gymnastics Centre project will see an industrial unit being developed for use as a Gymnastics Centre. Works will include the conversion of a toilet block into disabled friendly facilities, an office and redecoration throughout. The second phase will include insulation, further refurbishment and gymnastic equipment, and investment totalling £184,968
The St Barnabas Church Hall Restoration Programme aims to restore the church hall by replacing the roof, making the building watertight and improving the energy efficiency of the hall and increasing the hall’s usage. The scheme totals £42,189.
Plaid AM Dr. Dai Lloyd stated:
“This funding announcement by the One Wales Government is to be welcomed. Community schemes such as this have the potential to deliver significant regeneration benefits locally. The One Wales Government’s financial commitment is a clear sign that it looks to support communities in meeting its regeneration aims whenever it can.”
