Cork County Council is urging the public to attend an information event to mark the start of the

Town Centre First Regeneration Plan for Kanturk.

The event will take place on Thursday, 30 May, at Temperance Hall on Strand Street.

In March of this year, an allocation of €30,000 was approved by the Department of Rural and Community Development to develop a Town Centre First Regeneration Plan for the North Cork town. The funding will be used to develop a community-led vision for Kanturk culminating in a Town Centre First Plan that can then support competitive bids for national and local funding to progress the projects identified.

The national Town Centre First Policy aims to create town centres that function as vibrant, viable and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit while also serving as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.

Welcoming the commencement of the public engagement phase, Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr. Frank O’ Flynn said: "The Town Centre First plan for Kanturk will be informed by insights gathered from public consultation and surveys. This information event is the first of many and I would encourage anyone interested to go along and find out how they can get involved."
