New parklets have been approved for a period of three years across Bangor and Newtownards.
At the recent meeting of Ards and North Down Council’s Planning Committee, elected representatives approved two parklets at High Street, Bangor, one parklet at Main Street, Bangor, and one at Regent Street, Newtownards. The applications were all by the council, and recommended for approval by council officers.
At the bottom of High Street Bangor, beside numbers 57 to 59, the space being taken over consists of two car parking spaces, about 60 metres away from the Flagship Centre. Public seating and planters will be set along an 11 metre by two metre space on the roadside.
