Levelling Up Fund
This scheme is now closed for further applications.
The fund is provided by the UK Government and will be administered by Ceredigion County Council.
Ceredigion County Council welcomes the announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer during the UK Government’s budget today (27 October 2021) as it was confirmed that Ceredigion will be awarded with an investment for the Old College and Harbour as part of the UK Levelling Up Fund.
The Levelling Up Fund (LUF) will invest in infrastructure that improves everyday life across the UK, including regenerating town centres and high streets, upgrading local transport, and investing in cultural and heritage assets.
The funding will contribute to realising Aberystwyth University’s plans to bring new life to the Old College, and the delivery of schemes to create a Living Harbour and a Revitalised Promenade in Aberystwyth
The bid was put forward by Ceredigion County Council in June 2021 following input by local stakeholders and partners and it forms part of the Council’s vision for boosting the economy.
The investment that will be received through the UK Levelling Up Fund will be an opportunity to kick start a programme of investments that will help improve Aberystwyth as a destination to live, visit, work and study.
