Carrick-on-Shannon - Town Hall building - Have your say!
Leitrim County Council is asking for your views on the future use of the Carrick-on-Shannon Town Hall building on Bridge Street in the heart of the town centre.
In the Summer of 2023, Leitrim County Council approved the Carrick-on-Shannon Town Centre First Plan. This action-oriented strategy for the town was produced as part of the Irish Government’s Town Centre First initiative. This programme aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.
The Carrick-on-Shannon Town Centre First Plan identified a wide range of potential improvements to the town centre under three key themes – improving connections with the river, improving the arrival experience and promoting town centre vitality and activity.
The Carrick-on-Shannon Town Hall Building is perfectly situated to contribute to the Town Centre First Plan objectives. This underused historic building enjoys a prominent location on Bridge Street with good access to the river front and People’s Park.
THRIVE is a national funding program that supports the renewal of urban centres through the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings. The program is co-funded by the Irish Government & the European Union and is intended to help revitalize local towns and villages. The funding regime requires local authorities to promote the values of the New European Bauhaus in their projects. This includes making projects sustainable, accessible, inclusive, and aesthetically pleasing.
Supported by a comprehensive programme of community outreach and engagement, Leitrim County Council is keen to promote the refurbishment and reuse of the Town Hall building for a community-oriented use that would help to bring people into the centre and provide people and communities in the town centre with a community resource for everyone to enjoy (subject to funding availability).
