Community Feedback

Portadown 2000 is working to deliver a large scale regeneration project in an area at the rear of Millennium Court Arts Centre (between Thomas Street and William Street). This will be a shared space development open to people from all backgrounds for a range of different uses by local businesses, community organisations and residents. We are consulting with all stakeholders on the proposals and we are keen to get as much local community feedback as possible.
