THE Regenerating Rural Towns scheme run by the Cynnal y Cardi LEADER programme helped Tregaron Town Council with a series of marketing techniques and installations to promote and enhance the town ahead of last week’s National Eisteddfod..

This work acted as a legacy to the Eisteddfod following the influx of thousands of people to the town daily for its duration.

A wide range of installations could be seen following town branding design work, which included a giant deckchair, lamp post flags, banners, bunting, tiered flower planters, benches and picnic tables, monument conservation improvements, and a prominent Tregaron sign overlooking the Maes.

Many of these features will remain in place for the summer months and can be utilised by the town in the future.

Further town development work is due to commence to maintain and enhance the vibrancy of the town.

The Regenerating Rural Towns scheme has received funding through the Welsh Government Rural Communities - Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, which is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Government.

Cllr Clive Davies, Cabinet Member for Economy and Regeneration, said: “A great team effort was made by Tregaron Town Council, suppliers, and numerous volunteers to ensure that the installations were in place for the Eisteddfod.

“This all contributed to a successful festival, which showcased the best of Ceredigion.

“The continued endeavour by active members of the community will sustain the improvements for the future.”
