Bangor
The Bangor Town Centre Masterplan was produced by URS Scott Wilson in 2011 through a collaborative process led by the Department for Social Development with North Down Borough Council.
Much has changed since, including the formation of Ards and North Down Borough Council in 2015 and the granting of Bangor's city status in 2022. National and global circumstances have also changed, impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, costs of living and increasing severity of the Climate Crisis.
In 2022/23, The Paul Hogarth Company, with McGarry Consulting, and informed by public engagement exercise undertook a review of the Masterplan. The review sets out an understanding of current projects and initiatives, an overview of conversations with stakeholders and a revised set of priorities and actions for Bangor City Centre to be delivered over the next 8 years.
