A range of in person and digital activities took
STEP 1: ‘Let’s Talk Shandon’ Event and Survey This event and survey allowed residents to influence and shape initial project ideas that would form the draft IUS. The public feedback provided a range of suggested actions/projects focusing on areas around the historic heart (Firkin Crane and Shandon Bells), Shandon Street, St. Anne’s Park and Memorial Park, laneways leading up from the Pope’s Quay, the Pope’s Quay and Dominick Street. Some additional, however less frequently mentioned locations included Eason’s Hill, Old Market Place and Devonshire Street. Several buildings of note emerged including Butter Exchange, Weighmasters House, buildings along John Redmond Street (6A and 7), Legion of Mary Building, Old Post Office Site along Shandon Street and several empty buildings along Dominick and Church Streets.
STEP 2: Neighbourhood Team Workshops and Internal Office Discussions Following the engagement event emerging actions/projects were presented to the Neighbourhood Team. Most support was shown for projects at Weighmaster’s House, a public realm project along Church Street, Exchange Street and John Redmond Street, a green space project at St Anne’s and the Memorial Parks, and street project along Shandon Street. While there was significant support for projects along Widderling and Ferry Lanes, an improved east-west link along Dominick and Devonshire Street and Old Market Place. Internal council officer discussions took place with teams from housing, green space, heritage, planning, waste management, EU/Climate, Transport, Community, Tourism and Economic Development, Property, Parks and Drainage, key feedback was recorded and helped develop the projects.
