Mountmellick Town Team Meet with Newly Appointed Consultants on Town Centre First Plan
The Mountmellick Town Team has been up and running for the past 6 months, but it was this week that they met with SLR Consultants Ltd, the new team appointed to work with the Town Team to develop a Town Centre First Plan for Mountmellick.
Supported by Laois County Council’s Town First Regeneration Office and SLR Consulting, the Town Team will identify areas for regeneration in the Town Centre First Plan and develop projects that will revitalise the town centre for residents, businesses and visitors alike. After an initial research phase, an online survey will be conducted, and all stakeholders in Mountmellick will be invited to make an input which will help shape the final plan.
Mountmellick Town Team Chairperson, Fran Baker stated that “The Town Team are excited and enthusiastic about what we can contribute to make Mountmellick one of the best towns in the County and the Midlands to live in, do business in and visit”.
Guiding the project is Denise Rainey, Town Regeneration Officer with Laois County Council, “The Mountmellick Town Team is a hard-working group who are dedicated to enhancing Mountmelllick and I have no doubt that they will develop a plan for the Town which will become an important means to securing investment and bringing about regeneration to Mountmellick Town Centre”.
Donna Ryan, Project Manager with SLR Consulting added that, “We are looking forward to working with the Town Team and Laois County Council to develop viable project ideas that will help regenerate and reinvigorate Mountmellick.
