A multi-million pound scheme to regenerate housing in Wales has been announced.

A total of £25m in grants will be given to communities across the country in housing renewal aid from the Welsh Assembly Government. Each council will have its own action plan to improve housing and amenities.

Jocelyn Davies, deputy minister for housing, said: “This programme will improve the quality of life for thousands of people across Wales, helping to restore confidence in towns and villages in need of regeneration.”
