Enhancing the town environment
Over £10 million has been invested in Bridgend Town Centre which has resulted in major improvements to the Town Centre environment including:
Building Improvement and Restoration
In May 2005, the Authority designated a Townscape Heritage Initiative in the historic core of the Town Centre around Dunraven Place with funding of £910,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund. In addition, the Council administers a successful Town Improvement Grant programme across the whole Town Centre which has seen an investment of more than £750,000 since 2000
Town Centre Streetscene
An investment programme of £6 million sourced from the Council, former Welsh Development Agency, Welsh Assembly Government and Objective One has successfully implemented streetscene enhancements and traffic management measures to pedestrianise the primary shopping streets during the last eight years with further works underway in the Town Centre. These include Dunraven Place, Adare Street, Caroline Street, Wyndham Street, Queen Street, Market Street, Nolton Street, Brackla Street.
