The Public Realm scheme in Inniskeen will enhance the area and improve the commercial offering.
Those are just two of the aims of the plan, which was presented to members of the Carrickamcross Castleblayney MD at this month’s meeting.

The focus of the project is to develop unique spaces whilst being sensitive to the streetscape, heritage, and history of the area.
