Bangor Town Centre Masterplan
Purpose
The Bangor Town Centre Masterplan was launched by Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland on 6 July 2011. The purpose of the masterplan is to provide strategic guidance for the promotion, implementation and timing of urban regeneration initiatives in the town centre over the next 15 years. The masterplan sets out the vision and plan for Bangor town centre and the masterplan proposals include:
- creating a world class waterfront by capitalising on the marina and developing a ‘necklace of activities’ around the promenade;
- redevelopment of the Queen’s Parade site for high quality retail, offices and homes that will act as the catalyst for regeneration throughout the town centre;
- the development of a new hotel / theatre at the waterfront adjacent to a major new plaza for major events and markets that can be used for parking when no events are planned;
- creating a tree lined avenue along the length of Abbey Street with new gateway features at the entrance to the town and at the various roundabouts town;
- the redevelopment of Pickie Fun Park;
- new environmental improvements along the length Main Street, High Street and Hamilton Street with new unique lighting to signal a bright and vibrant town centre
- making the town centre both more cycle and pedestrian friendly and carrying out junction improvements to Main Street and Hamilton Road to reduce congestion.
