Contractor F P McCann has been selected to deliver a Public Realm Improvement Scheme in Castle Street, Ballymena.

The project has been part funded by the Department for Communities.

The proposed public realm works include:

• Works to Castle Street (from Church Street to the junction with Meeting House Lane) to upgrade the footways with granite paving to match existing public realm scheme materials and the works recently carried out on Lower Mill Street.

• Extending paving around & including the roundabout on Meeting House Lane and across the front of St Patrick’s Church to the junction with Trostan Avenue.

• Re-paving of the footway on Bridge Street opposite The Braid, thereby completing the works to ensure a consistent finish of paving from Lower Mill Street right through to Meeting House Lane. As with Lower Mill Street, the carriageway of Castle Street will also be resurfaced.

• Upgrading/replacing all street lighting to match with that already installed in previous public realm schemes.
