Oswestry Town Council is calling on local businesses and entrepreneurs to breathe new life into vacant town centre premises and offering funding to make it happen.
Through the Breathing New Life into Empty Properties initiative, the council is offering grants to businesses looking to occupy town centre premises that have stood empty for more than six months.
Funding is flexible and can cover a range of costs:
The scheme is open to new owners and occupiers taking on a vacant property. It is not available to the owner or tenant who was already in place at the point the property became vacant.
The Mayor of Oswestry Cllr Jonathan Upton said: “There’s still funding available and we would love to see it put to good use. Our town centre is in a strong position, and these grants are about building on that. We want to ensure that any vacant property becomes an opportunity for ambitious local businesses. This initiative reflects the council’s commitment to keeping Oswestry a place where new businesses can take root and our high street continues to thrive.”
Application deadline: 11:59pm, Thursday 31 December 2026.
