Town centres and commercial areas vitality

Town centres and commercial areas are vital for economic and social activity. The LDP will promote regeneration opportunities in Metropolitan Newtownabbey, Antrim and other towns and villages where significant benefits can be realised.

The attractiveness of our Borough's town centres and commercial areas is also a vital component of economic and social activity within our Borough. Their continued vitality and viability is therefore essential to the area's future competitiveness and wellbeing. Allied to this is the need to promote the delivery of regeneration opportunities in Metropolitan Newtownabbey, Antrim and the Borough's other towns and villages, focused upon those places where the most significant benefits can be realised.
