124 towns and villages across the country, including six here in Wicklow are to receive financial assistance from a €7 million funding package to upgrade their shopfronts and streetscapes.
Property owners will be given funding from the Department of Rural and Community Development to improve the facades of their buildings, carry out artwork and install features such as canopies and street furniture.
Arklow, Baltinglass, Blessington, Enniskerry, Kilcoole and Wicklow Town will benefit from €320,000 from the funding package, which is being administered by the local authority.
The funding can also go toward commissioning murals in towns and villages, the provision of street planting, shrubbery, trees and flowers boxes and lighting architectural features.
