Older properties in the town centre are eligible for funding of up to £25,000 towards projects to renovate and improve frontages, adding character to the street scene more reminiscent of 100 years or more ago.

The deadline for expressions of interest to NKDC is the end of May.

One of the areas ideal for enhancement is sections of Southgate, including some of the shopfronts near the Bristol Arcade where quite a few historic properties remain. Here we have the street in the present day and around a century ago.
