Three streets in Omagh town centre are set to undergo redevelopment to enhance the local area.

Further revitalisation funding will see High Street, Market Street and Georges Street upgraded with a shop front improvement scheme, street cleansing and 'Bags for Life' to promote shopping.

This project is being delivered in an effort to boost the natural, built and cultural heritage of Omagh town centre, restoring dilapidated properties across the three streets. It is being completed with funding from the Department for Communities (DfC) and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, which are working with local traders on the scheme.

As well as enhancing the area, the project will improve connectivity with John Street, Bridge Street, Old Market Place and Campsie, which have recently undergone revitalisation schemes.

Speaking about the latest project, the Chair of Fermanagh & Omagh District Council, Councillor Siobhán Currie, said: "Fermanagh and Omagh District Council works in partnership with other key stakeholders to deliver projects which make the district a better place to live, work and visit. Following on from the recent completion of the Bridge Street Revitalisation project, the Council is delighted to be once again working in collaboration with the Department for Communities to deliver this project which will reinvigorate the High Street, Market Street and Georges Street areas of the town and greatly benefit the main thoroughfare of the town.

"We are grateful to local businesses and visitors to the town centre for their patience and understanding while the works are ongoing."
