Tullamore Street Enhancement Project Public Consultation

Offaly County Council and the Tullamore Municipal District are seeking your views on proposals for works for the enhancement of Columcille Street, O’Connor Square and High Street, to include a pedestrian bridge from Millennium Square.
After extensive consultation in 2015, funding was sought and received this year. The project is receiving 50% funding from the European Regional Development Fund.
Draft proposals with options have now been created by the appointed design team and this is your opportunity to view and comment on those options. Works proposed in these areas include new paving, lighting, street furniture, planting, new layout of public areas including wider footpaths and a new civic space within O’Connor Square. As part of the project it is proposed to place the overhead wires in the centre of town underground.
The delivery of these works will be a signifi cant marker for the renewal of Tullamore Town Centre and ensure that the town centre reaches its potential as an attractive, safe and vibrant location for residents and visitors alike.
Details of the proposals and options will be available for viewing from the afternoon of 24th October 2016 online at Offaly County Council’s Website, at the planning counter in Aras an Chontae, in the Tullamore Library and in the Tullamore Municipal Offices.
Consultation will be ongoing over the period 24th October 2016 to 11th November 2016 (inclusive) and includes a drop-in consultation evening in Our Arts Centre (formerly Kilroys, High Street) on Thursday the 27th October 2016 from 4.30pm until 8pm, where you are invited to attend at the time that suits you and where council staff and the design team will be available to discuss the project and answer any questions you may have.
