Ballygowan Village Hall Improvements
£240,999 : Funded by Department of Agriculture, Environment & Rural Affairs, European Union, Ards and North Down Borough Council
In September 2017, funding was secured under the Northern Ireland Rural Development Programme (and Housing Executive) to update eight village plans, including Ballygowan. Consultation with the community identified a range of regeneration projects to help the village achieve its overarching aims and shared vision. Improvement works to the community centre were identified as a priority project.
Council availed of funding under the Village Renewal Scheme to complete capital build works to the community centre, which would ensure it better meets the needs of the growing local population.
The works included:
- Opening access to existing toilets from main corridor
- Adding an additional corridor to access a new extension
- An extension to provide a modern kitchen
- Extension to provide a multi-purpose room
- Additional storage space
- Access to the side elevation of the building
- CCTV
- Provision of blinds, furniture, and equipment.
