Westport town architect to address Kilcullen meeting this evening
Organised by Kilcullen Community Action, the meeting will be in the Town Hall and start at 7pm.
All are welcome, and anyone with a particular interest in the long-term development of Kilcullen is urged to attend.
A visit by KCA to Westport will be considered for a later date.
Under the direction Simon Wall, then town architect for Westport's UDC, an Integrated Action Plan was drawn up in the late 1990s. The town was subsequently improved in a project that involved all public and private interests and public consultation.
The project began with changes to streetscape signage, provision of timber sash windows, under-grounding wires and providing high quality street furniture.
Old and derelict buildings in the town centre were tastefully redeveloped and re-purposed, and people were encouraged to live over the town's shops to bring 'life' back to the areas.
Implementing the plan also provided paths and greenways, and car parking was largely confined to the edges of the town. Motor traffic within the town was restricted.
