An event tomorrow in Newry gives you the chance to have your last say on the new Newry Park plans, before the planning permission application is lodged.
Newry Leisure Centre is holding the pre-application public consultation event tomorrow Thursday 29 August between 3pm and 9pm and members of the public are welcome to attend to find out more about the plans. Consultants Tetra Tech will be on hand.
Newry, Mourne and Down District Council’s Outline Business Case (OBC) for Newry City Park was approved by the Department for Communities and a Contract for Funding issued in December 2023 — opening access to £16.2 million from the Executive’s City/Growth Deal Complementary fund. The Council is also providing £2.4 million of match funding to deliver the 15-acre City Park.
For those who cannot attend tomorrow information will be made available from 3pm that day on the Council’s website newrymournedown.org with the opportunity to email comments on the plans until 5pm on Friday 27 September.
Physical information stands and comment boxes will also be available from 30 August to 27 September at Newry Leisure Centre, as well as at Kilkeel Leisure Centre, the Newcastle Centre and the Council’s Downshire Civic Centre building during normal opening hours.
