Groomsport Harbour

Ards and North Down Borough Council was awarded £2,217,000 under the Covid-19 Small Settlements Programme (CSSP), which aims to address long standing issues in small settlements.  It supports projects that attract investors and visitors, and create vital and viable villages that meet the needs of local citizens and the surrounding areas. 

CONCEPT DESIGN FOR GROOMSPORT HARBOUR ENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENT SCHEME  

The aim of this project is to develop a concept design to improve the harbour area for residents and visitors that would be 'oven ready' should funding become available. 

The existing 60no space car park located at Groomsport Harbour is often at capacity and the need was identified to look at ways in which this can be improved, whilst also improving the surrounding areas. 

The concept design welcomes extra overflow car parking and environmental improvements for walking and leisure time.

The CSSP is a collaboration between the Department for Communities (DfC), Department for Infrastructure (DfI) and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA), working closely with local governments to identify priority projects in rural areas.
