Question:
To ask the Minister for Social Development for an update on plans to provide funding for Carrickfergus town centre through the ReStore Programme.

Answer:

In an earlier response to AQW 8487/11-15 I advised that funding for a Revitalisation scheme for Carrickfergus town was scheduled in the Department’s capital expenditure programme for 2013/14. This funding is subject to a satisfactory business case and appraisal being completed and approvals being granted.

It is anticipated that a scheme will be developed in conjunction with Carrickfergus Borough Council and a representative local traders’ body after the ongoing public realm works in the town centre have been completed.
