天涯社区 is introducing a shop improvement grant scheme in
Buckley this month and is asking for businesses who are interested to get in
touch.
The criteria for the grant will be:
路 up to 拢10,000 capital funding per property
路 needs to benefit the appearance of the town, or bring vacant properties into
use;
路 needs to be in the core retail area of Buckley town centre;
路 must be match funded 鈥� we will provide 60% towards the costs of internal
works and 80% for external works;
路 will not support routine maintenance or the purchase of equipment.
天涯社区 Cabinet Member for Economic Development, Councillor
Derek Butler, said:
鈥淭his is a fantastic scheme to help business owners to upgrade their premises 鈥�
both inside and out, and help breathe new life back into the town centre. I
would encourage building owners or tenants to get in touch to see how they can
apply. The Council is making 拢85,000 available overall, so applications will
be dealt with on a first come first served basis.
鈥淭he scheme will focus on High Street properties to improve the appearance of
units (external works) and to tackle vacant properties (internal and external
works).鈥�
Further details, support to help applicants through the process and a full
application pack will be available soon but, if you would like to informally
express interest or would like further information please contact 01352 701427
