Town Team Chairman, Brian King and members of Roscrea's Town First team and Council officials
Fianna Fáil Tipperary TD Jackie Cahill has welcomed up to €30,000 Government funding to develop Roscrea town centre.
The investment under the Town Centre First (TCF) Plans was announced as part of a €4.5 million package to support rural towns and villages by Minister Heather Humphreys.
Deputy Cahill said: “I’m pleased to see Roscrea earmarked to receive up to €30,000 for the first phase of the Town Centre First Plan. It will be crucial to the revitalisation of Roscrea town and will help the community generate investment and tackle issues such as vacancy and dereliction."
He added: “This investment is about giving local people the tools they need to improve their town and make it a more attractive place in which to live, work, visit and invest.”
The new measures follow on from the launch of the Government’s first ever Town Centre First Policy in 2022. This has seen the development of specific Town Centre First Plans in 2,026 towns nationwide.
Town Centre First contains 33 unique actions which will give our towns the tools and resources they need to become more viable and attractive places in which to live, work, visit and run a business. Town Regeneration Officers in all relevant local authority areas are being funded by the Department to drive forward Town Centre First on a local level.
The establishment of the National Town Centre First Implementation Office is key to the success of the policy. The Office supports Town Regeneration Officers (TRO) in driving implementation at a local level, capturing best practices and coordinating stakeholder engagement.
