£6.9 million to support 3 projects across Powys
Three projects in south and central Powys have between them received almost £7 million from the Levelling Up Fund.
The projects include the:
- refurbishment and improvement of the Theatr Brycheiniog
- preparation of the derelict Auto Palace site for redevelopment
- delivery of a multi-agency hub
New multi-agency hub in Brecon
The funding will deliver a multi-agency work hub in Brecon. This will bring together organisations across the public, private and third sectors.
Moving services from the town centre will:
- free up land and property to support economic regeneration
- support the development of affordable housing
Theatr Brycheiniog improvement works
Theatr Brycheiniog serves as Brecon’s centre for the arts. It has become a much loved and utilised community asset.
The theatre houses:
- a 120 seat studio and rehearsal space
- a 477 seat auditorium
It hosts an ambitious programme of Welsh and English language productions. Nearly £2 million from the Levelling Up Fund will:
- support vital refurbishment and improvement works
- safeguard this important cultural asset
Auto Palace site regeneration
Funding will support the purchase and redevelopment of the brownfield site next to the Grade II* listed Auto Palace building. The site, in Llandridnod Wells, has been derelict for 15 years.
The regeneration will:
- remove an eyesore at a key gateway into the town
- create space for housing
