Residents, businesses and community groups are being invited to have their say on the future of Crossmaglen Square at a public drop-in event later this month.
The engagement event takes place on Tuesday, 10 March from 4pm to 8pm at Crossmaglen Community Centre, and forms part of an ongoing study by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council to develop an Improvement Plan for the Square. Council officials and scheme consultants will be on hand to discuss how the space is currently used and to gather ideas on how it could be enhanced through future investment.
The study will examine the Square and its surrounding area, identifying challenges and opportunities and helping shape practical recommendations aimed at revitalising the civic space. The findings will also support potential future funding applications, including Environmental Improvement Schemes.
Councillor Philip Campbell, Council Chairperson, encouraged people to take part, saying: "Crossmaglen Square is at the heart of the local community and this study is an opportunity for everyone who lives, works or spends time in the area to help shape its future. We want to hear directly from residents, businesses and community groups about what works well, what could be improved and what they would like to see in the years ahead. I would strongly encourage people to call in, share their views and play an active role in this important process."
All members of the community are welcome to attend at any point during the drop-in session on Tuesday, 10 March.
