Louth public urged to have a say in Long Walk Urban Regeneration project!
A key part of Dundalk's town centre, the Long Walk is set for regeneration, led by the local authority in a project which 'aims to create a vibrant space that supports Dundalk's growth and meets the needs of the town's residents, visitors and businesses.'
'As part of this process, we want to engage with the wider community to understand the current uses and future possibilities for The Long Walk and the evident issues and opportunities,' said a council spokesperson.
LUC have been appointed consultants for this planning stage and are now inviting the public to have a say on the ambitious project for the area of Dundalk.
The consultation will look at wide range of possibilities for revitalising the Long Walk area and how it is accessed, including; better places to walk, cycle, and hang out, planting trees and flowers for nature and beauty, adding fun spaces for play and creativity, improving signs, paths, and public spaces and the celebration of local history, art, and heritage.
The second stage of the consultation will get underway with a drop-in event at the Community Room, next to the main entrance of the Long Walk Shopping Centre, on Tuesday, July 1st, from 12pm to 6p.m
A spokesperson added that the event is open to everyone who has an interest in or opinion on the regeneration of the Long Walk area, saying: "All are welcome to come along and see the DRAFT vision and priorities for the regeneration of the Long Walk area. Share your feedback, vote for your priorities, and help shape the future of your town. This is a family-friendly drop-in event – all are welcome!'
An online survey has also been launched, appealing to students and young people to have their voices heard on plans to regenerate the Long Walk and Ice House Hill Park.
