£300,000 grant for Prestatyn library (Wales)

Plans for a new library in Prestatyn have moved a step closer thanks to news of a successful funding bid. Denbighshire County Council had its application for £300,000 of funding from the Welsh Government museums, archives and libraries section CyMAL accepted - one of only two projects given maximum funding from the £1.2 million package announced. "The current library on Nant Hall Road is certainly not fit for purpose and would need substantial investment to bring its condition up to modern day standards," said Jamie Groves, Denbighshire's Head of Communications, Marketing and Leisure
