Fay Jones MP recently with the Ystradgynlais Community Welfare Ground Association, The Community Youth Group and The Welfare Ystradgynlais who have come together to bid for Government funding as part of The UK Government Levelling Up Fund.
The fund was created to provide extra investment into our communities, investing in historically under-funded areas to improve local economies and opportunities. Brecon and Radnorshire were successful in the first round gaining £6.9 million of funding with projects in Brecon town centre, Theatr Brycheiniog. and a third project developing a brown field site in Llandrindod Wells.
Following the meeting Fay Jones said
"I want to work with all community leaders in Ystradgynlais to submit a bid to the fund which recognises the potential the town has and gives it the ability to thrive"
