Amharc ar fhreagraThe Streetscape Enhancement Measure was introduced in 2021 as part of the commitment in Our Rural Future to upgrade and enhance shopfronts and street facades in our rural towns and villages.
Under the 2022 Streetscape Enhancement Measure €2.6 million is being made available to improve the visual appearance of our urban streetscapes.
Eligible local authorities have selected towns and areas within the towns to benefit from the Measure and have submitted applications to my Department detailing works applied for.
Local authorities have until 31 August 2023 to have works under the scheme completed. The table below details the towns approved under the Measure and amount of funding allocated to these towns.
