New funding for Streetscape Enhancement Projects in Fingal’s town centres

Following on from the successful Streetscape scheme in April of this year, Fingal County Council’s Town Regeneration Office has announced a new funding programme for Streetscape Enhancement Measures in town centres throughout the county.

The new funding reflects Fingal County Council’s vision as a great place to live, work, visit and do business in.

It will support facade upgrades at commercial premises and community buildings.

This will include shopfront facade improvements, painting, signage replacement or removal, lighting, and green planting.

Mayor of Fingal, Cllr. Brian McDonagh, welcomed the new funding programme and added: “This represents a key opportunity for businesses and community facilities situated along the streets of our towns and villages to receive funding assistance towards enhancing their premises.

“I would encourage businesses and community groups to avail of this excellent opportunity”.
