North Wales MS Sam Rowlands is urging people to have their say on plans to promote a popular tourist town in his region.

Llangollen's residents, businesses and visitors are being invited to share their views on a project aimed at promoting and enhancing the four great ‘highways’ of Llangollen: the Llangollen Canal and World Heritage Site, the former Ruabon to Barmouth railway line, the River Dee and Thomas Telford’s historic route, the A5 Holyhead Road.

The aim is to improve the visitor experience and increase the amount of time people choose to spend in the area.

Proposed works include providing landscape and engineering improvement works to enhance accessibility and biodiversity, as well as making it easier for visitors to understand what is available in the area and how to find it.

The four key areas which have been identified are: Wharf; Access points to the wharf, railway and Lower Dee Mill park; Lower Dee Mill park and signage and wayfinding (including visitor information in car parks).

The Levelling Up Fund is intended to invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK.

The fund supports town centre and high street regeneration, local transport projects, and cultural and heritage assets.

In round one, the Levelling Up funding allocated to Denbighshire amounted to £3.8m and will benefit the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding areas.

Mr Rowlands said: “I think it is an excellent idea to let people who live, work and visit Llangollen to have their say on its future plans.

“I am delighted to see the project, in the Clwyd South constituency, coming to fruition thanks to funding from round one of the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund and a joint application for money from Denbighshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council.

“It is great to see investment in this popular tourist destination which can only enhance and improve the area for local people and visitors alike.

"It is also good to see how the Levelling Up Fund is delivering for people in North Wales.”
