DENBIGHSHIRE County Council's cabinet has endorsed a 10-year draft plan of the "Our Rhyl" vision and regeneration scheme, which will invest £20m in the town from 2026.

The plan includes an initial four-year draft plan for investment into the town's regeneration, which will include spending money on high streets, heritage, housing, work, productivity and skills and health and wellbeing.

The funds will also support transport, safety and security, education and opportunity. The plans will be submitted for the UK Government's Pride in Place Programme, which provides funds for disadvantaged communities.
