Greater Shankill, Belfast
CARLIN are delighted to be working with the Department for Communities and the Greater Shankill Local Action Group (LAG) to develop an innovative place shaping strategy for the Greater Shankill, utilising the Ministerial Advisory Groups Living High Street’s Craft Kit.
CARLIN will be assisting the LAG through a comprehensive community engagement process, which will include a wide range of place shaping workshops. The Minister for the Department of Communities, Gordon Lyons, said “I am delighted that my department is supporting the Living High Streets Craft Kit initiative in the Greater Shankill. It provides a new community-led ‘ground up’ approach to placemaking where local people are the foundation of any change in their area. It is vital that community needs and issues are understood so that solutions help their area grow and thrive.”
The engagement process will progress over the coming months with the final Framework due to be published in the Summer 2025.
