Employment Support

Limavady Borough Council is supporting two employment programmes in conjunction with North West Life Long Learning, and Roe Valley Community Education Forum. Both are aimed at improving skills and providing placements for people who are currently unemployed or are looking at getting into/returning to the workplace. For more information, please contact paul.beattie@limavady.gov.uk.

Town Centre Regeneration

For many years our towns have played a pivotal role in our lives. They have fulfilled a variety of commercial, social and cultural needs and 'going to town' has been an occasion to be enjoyed. Now times have changed and with them, the way we live.

The challenges from competing towns, out of town retail parks, and the changing consumer needs are major issues for Limavady, Dungiven and Ballykelly.

The Council is working with the Chamber of Trade to develop new ways of enhancing the town centres in the Borough, and developing a new portfolio of projects for Limavady.

However, there have been some developments in conjunction with the Department for Social Development. The Department indicated that it would be keen to support the development of a Town Centre Masterplan for Limavady. This is now being taken forward after a tendering process which was won by the consultants, RPS. A masterplan will be in place by end-2010.

For more information on town centres projects or ideas, please contact paul.beattie@limavady.gov.uk
