Horseshoe Falls Levelling Up project appoints contractor

The Council has appointed a contractor to undertake improvement works at Horseshoe Falls funded by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund (LUF).

During the first round of LUF, the Council was successful in its joint application with Wrexham County Borough Council for the Clwyd South Constituency, which was supported by Simon Baynes MP. Denbighshire secured £3.8 million to invest in the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding areas.

Residents can expect the following improvements to the Llantysilio Green Car Park near Horseshoe Falls:

• Replacement of existing car park surface to form designated parking bays.
• Excavation for new cesspit to replace existing old septic tank.
• Replacement of external foul drainage between new tank and existing toilet block.
• New stone wall and paving stone improvements around toilet block.

KM Construction have been successful in their tender for the project, and work is due to begin on 8 January 2024 for a period of 8 weeks (weather dependant).

The works will include some disruption to car parking, and temporary closure of the toilet block to carry out renewals of the foul drainage and provision of the new paving around the building. However, pedestrian access to Horseshoe Falls will be maintained throughout the construction process.

The area has seen a significant increase in visitor numbers in recent years, and this project aims to manage visitor numbers and enhance the visitor experience for all who visit the site.
