Community Consultation Invitation To The Grove, Downpatrick
Newry Mourne and Down District Council invites residents, community groups, schools, and colleges to take part in shaping the future of The Grove in Downpatrick.
The Council has secured PEACEPLUS funding to support the future development of The Grove as a shared and welcoming space for everyone in the community.
A council spokesperson said: “This investment will help explore how The Grove can be revitalised and used in ways that encourage greater community connection, inclusion, and positive shared use.
“This consultation is an opportunity for local people to help influence how The Grove could develop in the future. Through community-led discussion and engagement, the project will consider how the space can better support local needs, encourage interaction between different groups, and provide opportunities for inclusive activities and events.
“We want to hear from residents and organisations across Downpatrick about how The Grove can become a more vibrant, accessible and valued community space for all.
By getting involved, you can help shape a future vision for The Grove that reflects local priorities, supports stronger community relationships, and creates a space that is welcoming, shared and well used by everyone.
