• Consolidate the town centre and provide a more cohesive and pleasing streetscape;
  
  
• Improve the appearance of buildings by re-painting and ensure that shop fronts are appropriate in both scale and materials;

• Encourage commercial activity within the town and promote the occupancy of all vacant premises;

• Develop a riverside amenity park to run along the rear of buildings located in Main Street with access points at the bridge at the end of Ralph Square and behind the Church of Ireland grounds and at the carpar
