Page 7 - Callan Regeneration IN FOCUS

Using the Callan Health Check as a catalyst to en-

gage communities and local organisations the Town

Improvement Plan was completed and launched in
August 2019. This active document set out a vision

for the town alongside identified actions to achieve

an overall vision that includes the regeneration of

Bridge Street, Mill Street, the Motte Field, the Fair

Green and the development of the Friary Complex,

all key actions within this plan.

Vision; “Callan Town Team- Putting Callan

on the map- building on Callan’s existing

infrastructure, driving change, and creat- WORKING IN

ing vibrancy in the community”.

This plan is actively mobilising communities in PARTNERSHIP
Callan to share responsibility and co-operate locally

and with the identified Implementing Partners (and

others) to implement actions identified and achiev-

able solutions. The plan identifies solutions to key

issues identified through the public consultation

process. This plan also serves to inform future appli-

cations for funding under various local and national
schemes administered by various Government De-

partments, State Agencies and non-government or-

ganisations (NGO’s).

Kilkenny County Council meet with the Callan Town

Team every six weeks to facilitate the implementa-

tion of specific actions identified in the plan.
