From disused to dynamic: regeneration boost for three forgotten spaces in Barry A town with a proud history, Barry is looking to the future and quickly building a reputation for itself as a desirable, aspirational and innovative place to live, work and visit in Wales. As part of efforts to regenerate the town, the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme — which supports major capital projects to repurpose empty property, including important and historic buildings, and land in town centres across Wales — has allocated £3.5 million in funding to the Vale of Glamorgan Council for Barry-specific projects and developments. The significant investment will support regenerative works in Barry to create a sustainable town centre and bring long-lasting economic and social benefits to the wider community.
