£190,000 to develop Connah's Quay community centre

The Kathleen and May Community Centre will also buy two wheelchair accessible speedboats

A quayside community centre in Flintshire will be renovated after securing a £190,000 grant.

The Quay Watermen's Association (QWA) secured the Welsh government money to refurbish the Kathleen and May Community Centre in Connah's Quay.

It will be spent on a new roof, insulation and landscaping and the centre will also run boat trips.

Keith Marland of the QWA said: "It's a massive amount of money and everybody's over the moon."

Carl Sargeant, assembly member for Alyn and Deeside, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that the Quay Watermen Association have secured this funding."
