Northern Ireland Social Development Minister
Alex Attwood has announced that consultants have been appointed
to prepare a Masterplan for Coleraine town centre.
The aim of the Masterplan is to identify key town centre
sites to be developed and consider how transport and land
use can be better integrated to ensure the town can continue
to grow and prosper.
The plan will also consider how Coleraine is currently performing,
assess its potential and decide how that potential can be
realised in the future. It will ensure that Coleraine continues
to provide an attractive and welcoming place for shoppers,
tourists, residents and businesses alike.
Alex Attwood said: “This Masterplan, when completed, will
provide Coleraine town centre with the strategic direction
it will require for its physical, economic and social development
for the next 10 to 15 years. It will build on good work already
completed and will incorporate a number of developments planned
for the future."
The Paul Hogarth Company, a firm of specialist planning consultants
based in Belfast, has been appointed to prepare the masterplan.
The company has experience of preparing masterplans for other
towns in Northern Ireland - including Armagh, Ballymena, Carrickfergus,
Downpatrick and Omagh.
