Following the publication of the ‘Framework for Town Centre Renewal’ in April 2017, the ‘Portlaoise Town Team’ was established in October 2017.
“The purpose of this new town team is to develop a coherent and collaborative approach to implementing Town Centre renewal in Portlaoise,” say the group, who are working in collaboration with Laois County Council.
“This is a very exciting and new way of engaging the relevant parties of Portlaoise town to implement a plan for the future.”
The Town Team is made up of representatives from the following sectors: business and retail, local authority, residents, employers, educators, age action, heritage and tourism, Gardai, charities community groups and local politicians.
“Currently this team are conducting surveys to assess the health of our town. In order to plan for the future, we need to know what we need to fix, so we need visitors and residents of Portlaoise to have their say. We want as many people as possible to take part.
“Have your say and be in with a chance to win a Rosefield Watch, compliments of Gerry Browne Jewellers. The link to the survey is here. We want to hear from you. Get in Touch!”
Any queries in relation to the above can be addressed to Denise Rainey, Business Support Unit, Laois County Council on 057 8664103.
