Work on the new Queen Maeve Square in Sligo is currently 40% complete.
Sligo County Council has confirmed that work is progressing well on the development which is located on the site formally known as Stephen Street car park.
The project is set to transform the existing site into a multi-use, fully pedestrianised area.
The space is also set to be used for open air activities throughout the year.
The development will include the installation of continuous high quality paving, new seating, state of the art lighting as well as improved landscaping and signage throughout the city centre site.
A landmark feature of the development will be the installation of ‘The Shell’, a 90 sqm bespoke covered area which will provide shelter for performances, ensuring that this space will be of use to the creative sector throughout the year.
Once completed, a rolling series of events will be planned, encompassing the cultural and creative sectors. Sligo County Council also wants to provide the wider community with opportunities to organize and develop new events, effectively planning the pathway for the future growth of the area.
