Downpatrick Regeneration Working Group Launches Living High Streets Framework

The Downpatrick Living High Streets Framework was successfully launched at an event in Down Arts Centre on Tuesday 12 September, 2023. Downpatrick Regeneration Working Group in conjunction with The Ministerial Advisory Group (MAG) for Architecture and the Built Environment, Department for Communities and Newry, Mourne and Down District Council produced the Framework with the help of businesses, residents and stakeholders, to develop a vision for the town and put it in the best possible position for funding opportunities.

Downpatrick Town Centre Regeneration Programme
AUGUST 2020: The journey continues…

Continuing the journey, Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, in partnership with the Department for Communities, is progressing with the regeneration of Downpatrick, focusing on the redevelopment of the former PSNI station site in Irish Street, Downpatrick.  

With the aim of creating the catalyst for the regeneration of Downpatrick town centre, the investment by the Department for Communities and Council will transform this Irish Street site into a vibrant and attractive area. Our vision for the regeneration and development of the Irish Street site is underpinned by the objective to create a space that is accessible and inclusive for all.

The successful scheme will demonstrate excellent standards of urban design, economic viability and sustainability to ensure that it suitably integrates with the current character and nature of the town.

Working closely alongside various stakeholders and businesses within Downpatrick, the Council has initiated the initial phase of the project with initial consultations having commenced on the production of a design brief for the 0.39-hectare site.

The regeneration of this site will enhance the public realm and provide various services and facilities to encourage local people, as well as visitors, to enjoy and use the space.
Join us as we continue our Journey.
