The Council publishes artist’s impressions for 4 Great Highways Project

The Council's 4 Great Highways project has published artist’s impressions for what parts of Llangollen will look like on completion of the works.

The project aims to enhance the landscape and improve accessibility, interpretation and signage in Llangollen.

The project is part of investment by the UK Government’s Levelling Up Fund that was secured through a joint application between Denbighshire County Council and Wrexham County Borough Council for the Clwyd South Constituency. The application was supported by Simon Baynes MP. £3.8 million was allocated to Denbighshire to invest in the communities of Llangollen, Llantysilio, Corwen and surrounding areas.

In recent months, the Council has undertaken a number of consultation activities to gather feedback from the public about what improvements they would like to see as part of this project. These have included walkabouts in the project area to hear from residents about their thoughts on the plans, opportunities to submit feedback via County Conversation, the Council’s online consultation portal, a drop-in session at Llangollen Town Hall and an opportunity to express views on preliminary designs through a public display of the artwork at the library.

Based on this feedback, the Council have finalised designs and published the artist’s impressions for what the area will look like once the project is complete. The detailed plans are available on the Council’s dedicated 4 Great Highways webpage under the Gallery section.

The Council has recently begun its tendering process to find a contractor to undertake the work and hopes to appoint one by the end of September 2023.

A further public consultation will also be held soon to gather feedback on people’s preferred design options for the new signage that is due to be installed as part of the project.
