Wicklow Minister Simon Harris has called on local businesses and property owners to apply for financial assistance to upgrade their shopfronts and streetscapes.
The deadline for the Streetscape Enhancement Initiative has been extended by a week until the 14th of September, which provides funding designed to improve the appearance of the centre of towns and villages in the county.
Under the scheme, property owners are encouraged to improve the facades of their buildings, carry out artwork and install features such as canopies and street furniture.
