Flintshire Town Centres Receive Over £1.8 Million Investment Boost

Monday, 23 June 2025 11:49

Flintshire County Council’s Regeneration Team has announced a substantial investment into Flintshire town centres.

With financial support from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF), the team designed and delivered the ‘Town Centre Investment Programme – Flintshire’.

Between 2023 and 2025, the programme secured £1.66 million in SPF funding, with total investment exceeding £2.07 million when including contributions from other sources. This investment has been instrumental in starting the work needed to revitalise seven town centres: Buckley, Connah’s Quay, Flint, Holywell, Mold, Queensferry, and Shotton.

Building on the success of the 2023-2025 initiative, Flintshire’s Regeneration Team has now been awarded an extension to the programme, securing an additional £475,939 of SPF funds for further investment in Flintshire’s town centres in 2025-2026.

The Town Centre Investment Programme delivers six innovative projects, including two grant schemes that support town centre property improvements as well as local activities and events. These initiatives are designed to drive economic growth, improve town centre aesthetics, and foster community engagement.

Councillor Chris Dolphin, Cabinet Member for Economy, Environment and Climate at Flintshire County Council, said:

“This additional funding demonstrates our ongoing commitment to revitalising Flintshire’s town centres. It is a testament to the hard work of the Regeneration Team and the strong partnerships we’ve built with our communities. We are excited to continue supporting local businesses, enhancing public spaces, and bringing people together to make our town centres vibrant and thriving places to visit, work, and live.”
