“There is a need to think more creatively about how we make the best use of our town centres and as such it is only appropriate that we hear from local businesses about how best to channel any funding.”

The first step in this process has involved engagement with local businesses to get their views on how this money should be spent. Council has issued a short online survey to businesses in Larne and feedback from this will be reported at a workshop on Tuesday, February 27, 5.45 - 7.30pm at the McGarel Hall in Larne Town Hall, where there will also be the opportunity to determine the final allocation of the budget

The workshop will also provide an overview of the town centre’s performance statistics and identify other potential sources of funding.
