From Parking Bay to "PARKLET"
Part of the City Centre's Recovery Plan:
Ards and North Down Borough Council in collaboration with the Bangor Town Advisory Group
have produced a substantial new plan to take Bangor forward from the woes of 2020.
The aim is to encourage a sense of community by creating safe social spaces for people to meet, eat and drink in relative shelter and comfort. The concept has already been floated in several UK cities including Belfast with great success.
As well as the parking bay “parklets” the McKee Clock Plaza will also see permanent new canopies with tables and chairs seating up to 50 people.
The Council, working with the Town Advisory Group, have submitted proposals for 3 Parklets in Bangor. These are at Main Street and High Street.
