Empty homes grant was widened to include the Amman and Gwendraeth Valleys
MORE than 500 applications have been received to bring empty homes back in to use across south Wales, including the Gwendraeth and Amman Valleys.
Phase one of the Welsh Government’s £10 million Valleys Taskforce empty homes grant scheme was launched a year ago by Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport Lee Waters, after a successful roll-out across Rhondda Cynon Taf.
The scheme is open to home owners across the extended Valleys Taskforce across south Wales from Carmarthenshire to Torfaen in East Wales. Its boundaries were also extended last year to include the Gwendraeth and Amman Valleys.
