Planning for the future - the next stage

Council aims to create a strategy, individually tailored for each town and village which will provide a clear vision for the future, alongside a programme of actions that will shape the regeneration agenda over the next ten years.

The planning for the future, regeneration strategy for the Borough creates an opportunity to re-consider economic priorities, and provides a framework for the physical regeneration of each town and village. It assesses the ways in which all aspects of development can be revisited, refreshed and further enhanced.

Following the success of the initial meetings held at the end of 2010, Coleraine Borough Council, in association with Coin Buchanan and Partners, is extending an invitation to local residents and business owners to attend the next consultation phase meeting in their area. The meetings will take place over the next three weeks and they will discuss previous findings and the future of the regeneration strategies. People with a vested interested in the designated areas can go along to see how the projects are shaping.

They are as follows, Castlerock, March 10, 7pm at Peter Thompson Hall; Portstewart, March 11, 7pm at Portstewart Town Hall; Garvagh, March 24, 5pm at the Gadda Building and Kilrea, March 25, 7pm in Kilrea Town Hall.

Key actions and priorities emerging from the work will be available for viewing and members of the team overseeing the regeneration projects will be on hand to answer any queries and to provide further information as necessary.
