Regeneration
Blaenau Ffestiniog's town centre is currently undergoing a regeneration. Due to funding from various organisations, grants and the Welsh Assembly Government, 4.5 million will be spent on redeveloping the town centre in order to create a vibrant shopping experience. Various cycle paths are also been installed. If plans go ahead Blaenau Ffestiniog will have the UK's first vélo-rail (See Draisine), which are popular in France.

Famous quotes containing the word regeneration:
“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
“The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
