Public Realm/Urban Waterfront Development

Bangor's coastline and stunning sea views are some of the city's most significant selling points.  They are to be enhanced sympathetically, sustainably, beautifully and in ways that people of all ages can enjoy them.

We recognise that and so propose to make a significant investment in new public realm features along the waterfront, making the everyday spaces that people move through, and linger within, as attractive as they can be.

Travelling from Skippingstone in the west to Ballyholme in the east (or vice versa) should be a real voyage of discovery and we intend to use creative signage, pathways and artistic features to encourage more people to enjoy the journey.

Particular attention will be given to: Skippingstone Beach (potentially multi-use pods for beach activities, accessibility features, feature lighting/benches) and Ballyholme (water sports opportunities, feature lighting/ surfacing).
