Skibbereen Town Centre First Regeneration Plan Launched

Cork County Council has officially launched its Town Centre First (TCF) Regeneration Plan for Skibbereen. The ambitious but pragmatic plan for Skibbereen Town Centre represents the culmination of significant public consultation by Cork County Council as part of the national Town Centre First policy initiative.
The public consultation and plan development process for the Skibbereen TCF Plan commenced in July 2023. 930 submissions were received from the community and a Town Team of eight community representatives formed as a focus group with which the consultants and Cork County Council worked to shape the plan. A series of public engagement events held in the town culminated in a community display event in Skibbereen Town Hall in December 2023. The final plan contains 36 specific objectives, projects, and principles that have been identified through a collaborative and consultative process.
