Works are progressing on Phase 2 of the Ennis Public Realm Regeneration Project. Building on the successful completion of Phase 1, our ongoing work continues to transform Ennis Town Centre, enhancing its safety, attractiveness, and vibrancy.
Work Overview:
Surface Water Management
We are installing new surface water channels and gullies, effectively connecting them to existing sewer systems to improve drainage efficiency.
Street Remodelling
Ongoing street remodelling includes the reconstruction of roads, footpaths, and paved areas, integrated with traffic calming measures to enhance safety.
Street Lighting and Furniture
Installation of modern, energy-efficient street lighting and stylish street furniture is underway, improving both the functionality and aesthetics of the urban landscape.
Service Ducting
We are laying down ducting for future service installations, ensuring that Ennis remains well-prepared for future infrastructure needs.
Landscaping
Our team is actively planting trees and shrubs, enhancing the environmental and visual quality of the town centre.
Ancillary Works
Various supporting works are being carried out to ensure the seamless integration of new and existing infrastructure.
Historical Context and Modern Improvements
Ennis, the first Irish town to receive the Purple Flag accreditation, continues to benefit from these improvements. Our efforts in Phase 2 focus on Parnell Street and its laneways, areas rich in history with structures dating back to the early 17th century.
Community and Civic Benefits
This regeneration project represents a significant investment by Clare County Council. The ongoing work aims to create a safer, more attractive pedestrian environment, transforming the town centre into a civic space that boosts Ennis’s vitality. By leveraging its historical assets, we are positioning Ennis as a premier destination, enhancing its appeal to both locals and visitors.
