Mr. Gareth ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to assist town centre regeneration in Wales. [45902]
§ Mr. Ron DaviesMy Department encourages its agencies, local authorities and others to take a holistic approach to the regeneration of town centres by drawing up strategies in partnership with the private and voluntary sectors and with community groups. These strategies should, amongst other things, identify appropriate sources of funding from a number of different schemes offering support for town centre regeneration.
