The developers behind the long awaited £50million revamp of Queen’s Parade in Bangor say they are keen to start construction as soon as possible but there are still a number of challenges to resolve.
The regeneration of the Queen’s Parade area of the new Co Down city was announced last year, after a two year hiatus caused by Stomont.
Large parts of the site, which occupies a prominent position overlooking the main Queen's Parade coastal road and Bangor Marina, have been derelict for decades and the area has long been seen as visually unattractive and having a detrimental effect on tourism and trade.
