Kircubbin Coastal Path

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. 

KIRCUBBIN COASTAL PATH IMPROVEMENT SCHEME 

The Kircubbin Coastal Path will benefits from improvement works stretching from the play park to the Main Street.  Works will include lighting to improve safety and accessibility, street furniture including new benches and picnic tables and incidental tree planting. The scheme aims to promote connectivity for the village services, playpark, community centre, school, and housing.  

The design of the scheme has been completed and a planning application lodged.  Following receipt of planning approval, the scheme will progress to onsite works.

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.
