Members of the public are being called on to help shape the proposed Environmental Improvement Scheme for the streetscape of the Campsie area of Omagh.

If funding is secured, the works will see improvements delivered to paving, kerbing, road realignment, drainage, signage, planting and landscape design, street furniture, lighting (including festive lighting), and pedestrian crossing points among others.

Led by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, the consultation will help to inform the concept designs of the proposed scheme.  

Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Errol Thompson, said: "The proposed Environmental Improvement Scheme for the Campsie area is designed to enhance the area as a place to live, work and visit and to improve pedestrian and traffic route linkages to other areas of the town.

"This initial consultation is an important first step to helping to create designs for the scheme which will be further consulted upon once ready.  

"Undertaking this preparatory work now will ensure that we are in the best place possible to progress with the scheme when funding becomes available."

The proposed scheme includes the Market Street, Campsie Road, Campsie Drive, Campsie Avenue and Holmview Avenue areas of Campsie.
