Waringstown Public Realm - concept consultation revised drawings

Overview

Armagh City, Banbridge, and Craigavon Borough Council is proposing to submit a planning application for improvements to the public realm in Waringstown. These proposals have been developed by the Council, as part of their commitment to delivering regeneration and economic development throughout the Borough.

After careful consideration of the feedback council received from a previous consultation period 04 Dec 2020 to 11 Jan 2021, designs have been revised. Once again council would like to gather views from stakeholders in relation to the updated designs. This consultation will take place online due to the current Government restrictions on public assembly.

The theme of the design is based on the Weaving History of Waringstown and the layout of the feature elements within are based on the weaving spindles and the threads of material running between the spindles. The paving surrounding these feature elements would be a warm blend of colours selected to complement the surrounding built environment.

This ‘hub’ area would also feature new street tree planting, new lighting, new seating provision and revitalised planting beds.
