“The new Heritage Streetscape Scheme will focus on enhancing the conservation area and will help businesses to create shop frontages that complement the character and appearance of the city centre.

“This scheme intends to create a more pleasing city centre environment by improving heritage shop fronts, resulting in wider benefits for the public realm and instilling civic pride.”

This grant programme is funded through the Department for Communities (DfC) and administered by the council.
