Funding Secured To Support Traders In Ballymoney And Coleraine

Funding of £440,000 has been secured to help support traders develop their businesses in Ballymoney and Coleraine.

The aim of the revitalisation schemes are to help promote the area as a destination for shoppers and improve the attractiveness of the shop frontages.

Each scheme includes a programme of works to upgrade shop frontages, building facades, and gable walls. Activities will include repairing and painting frontages, replacement of signage, rainwater goods and lighting.

Communities Minister Paul Givan said: "I am fully supportive of revitalisation schemes that help breathe new life into our towns and cities and support local businesses, ensuring long-term viability and prosperity."
