Comber

The Comber Town Centre Masterplan was produced 2015 through a collaborative process led by the Department Social Development with Ards Borough Council.  

The role of the town centre has been changing since that time, with post pandemic shift in patterns of work, commuting and domestic tourism.  National and global circumstances have also changed.

Comber is successfully adapting and navigating these challenges through its growing reputation for coffee, cycling, craft, and cuisine but there is an opportunity to build on this success through the identification of projects that will benefit both the community and town centre. 

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 Comber Town Centre to be delivered over the next 8 years.
