The people of Banbridge are invited to get their town into shape as part of an exciting initiative that will look at how Banbridge could be improved for its people.
The Banbridge Place Plan is being taken forward by the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Community Planning Partnership of which Council is the lead partner. This will be the second locality plan for the Borough under its new community planning remit and the partnership believes that places should be co-designed by the people who know them best – those who live, work, play and study there.
This project is part funded by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and Department for Communities. Studio Idir Ltd has been appointed to develop the plan.
The plan is in the early development phase and we want to hear from people about what makes Banbridge special to them and what would help make the town a better place.

Once we’ve gathered and collated the feedback and developed the draft plan, we’ll be putting it out to formal public consultation in the summer.
