Have your say: Citizen Services for Newtownards
11th November 2021
The Council is exploring options for the development of ‘Citizen Services’ in Newtownards that would make it easier for residents and visitors to access a range of Council facilities in modern and accessible town centre location(s).
These services would include Planning, Building Control, Registration of births, deaths and marriages, Arts, Heritage, Community hall/ Performance and Visitor Information Centre.
The proposals consider the reconfiguration of the Town Hall in Conway Square, West Street / Regent Street and redevelopment of the Queen’s Hall retaining links with a proposed expanded library.
Part of the information gathering involves asking residents and visitors about their use of existing Council facilities in Newtownards, as well as exploring improvements that could be made to the facilities in the future.
An online survey is now open for all residents and visitors to share their views. It takes less than 10 minutes to complete. We welcome people taking part in the survey and greatly appreciate all responses.
The survey is available via this link and will be open until Friday 10th December 2021.
