Special council meeting considers increased funding for Castle
Cardigan Town Council is to look at whether it can afford to give more cash to Cardigan Castle.
A special meeting is to be called later this month to look at the council’s budget to see if it can help Cadwgan Trust in its bid to raise £155k as part of the £4.5m Heritage Lottery Fund bid that is being submitted this September.
The council has already given Cadwgan a £2,000 grant.
“Cadwgan Trust is doing a lot of work to reach this target,” mayor Cllr Mair Morris told last week’s town council meeting.
“If this bid is not successful then we will be waiting for many many years for a solution to the castle. We are 100% behind them.”
Cllr Llwyd Edwards added: “If we don’t have the castle all we will have in Cardigan is the Guildhall and a new supermarket.”
