Vale of Glamorgan
The project will transform the areas Barry Waterfront with a new watersports centre, a marina, and new park. The Town’s Historic Dock Office will also be transformed into a new commercial space for businesses.
Partners on the projects include Associated British Ports, The Ocean Watersports Trust and Cardiff and Vale College. All played a part in getting the bid over the line.
Cllr Lis Burnett, Leader of the Council, said: “I welcome the Chancellor’s announcement. This project has been a long time in the making and it is great to see be approved. “The Barry Making Waves project marks the next step on a regeneration journey that has already seen significant investment. This news combined with the announcement that up to an additional £20 million will be made available to the Barry Partnership means that regeneration projects will be supported across the length and breadth of Barry. “I am confident that these projects will inevitably strengthen connectivity between the town centre and the Waterfront and create much needed training and employment opportunities.”
