Helen's Bay and Crawfordsburn

Your Village | Your Voice

Shaping the Future

Next Drop-In Public Engagement Session: Monday 10 February 2025 4pm-7pm in Helen's Bay Golf Club.

An on-line survey will be made available for anyone unable to attend .

Ards and North Down Borough Council is currently developing a new Village Plan for Helen's Bay and Crawfordsburn.

The Village Plan is a non-statutory document which outlines the long-term goals, objectives, and vision for the village. The actions identified in the Village Plan help to co-ordinate development efforts, prioritise investment and ensure there is a clear vision for the future of both Helen's Bay and Crawfordsburn.

The development of the new Village Plan consists of three key stages:

Stage 1 - Extensive Public Engagement (May 2024 to September 2024) - completed

Stage 2 - Desktop Data Analysis | Draft Priorities Consulted (October 2024 to March 2025)

Stage 3 - Launch of Village Plan 2025-2035 (April 2025)

(Timelines are subject to change)

In order to shape the Helen's Bay and Crawfordsburn Village Plan we are keen to listen and understand the views of the residents and businesses.

The next Drop-In Public Engagement Session will be held on Monday 10 February 2025 4-7pm in Helen's Bay Golf Club. Come along and review the key themes and priorities that emerged from the previous sessions and surveys.
