Cllr Terry Evans, Lead Member for Economic Development and Regeneration, said: “The buildings in the Town Centre Conservation Area are very prominent and valuable assets in our town. We want to make sure that the methods used to regenerate these buildings are in line with the traditional skills that helped build them in the first place.
“The courses have always been very well received and have been particularly welcomed by employers and employees who wish to have a part in restoring our heritage in the town centre.”
