NEW figures show that Wales has lost around 5,000 acres of county council tenanted land over the last decade. Of the total tenancies currently offered, 61 per cent account for holdings of smaller than 50 acres, according to figures included in the ‘Annual Report on Local Authority Smallholdings in Wales’. The report covers the period April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020, and is produced by the Welsh Government based on statistical information provided by Wales’ 22 unitary authorities. As of March 31, 2020, the total area of land held by local authorities in Wales for smallholding purposes was just over 38,776 acres, of which about 32,371 acres were let as smallholdings with a house and/or buildings.

Town centres across Wales are benefitting from a huge £110 million investment thanks to Transforming Towns - the Welsh Government’s town centre regeneration programme.
Announced last year, the Transforming Towns fund exists to build new, sustainable facilities; renovate derelict historic buildings; and find new uses for unused land in towns across Wales - with the aim of creating vibrant, sustainable town centres that people want to live, work, play and learn in.
