Welsh deputy minister for housing and regeneration Jocelyn Davies revealed that the Strategic Regeneration Area initiative will contribute £600,000 to help fund the project, which aims to revitalise the city's High Street area.

The Urban Village project - designed by Mathias Holder Architects of Cardiff - incorporates a series of new courtyard spaces linking shops, food and drink outlets and offices.

CHG's plans also form part of a wider bid to regenerate the High Street area, which includes the railway station and a separate development being led by Gwalia Housing Association.

CHG's Debbie Green added: "Work on site is progressing well and we look forwards to making the High Street an attractive destination for both the local community and visitors."
