£6 million boost for brownfield sites in Wales
A £6 million package to help bring contaminated land back into use was announced by Environment, Sustainability and Housing Minister Jane Davidson today. The available funding - £2million a year over three years - will go to Local Authorities and the Environment Agency for projects across Wales. They will use it to investigate and take remedial action at contaminated land. Jane Davidson said: “Contaminated land is a by-product of Wales’s industrial heritage and cleaning up these sites is of importance to the Welsh Assembly Government. The majority of contaminated sites are dealt with through land development proposals as part of economic regeneration.”
