It s time to invest in Ship Street and turn the ancient hamlet into a glorious example of the town s past.
The campaign is part of a submission to the Draft Louth County Development Plan 2021-2027 from a collective of interests that include, Ship Street Residents Association, Upstate Theatre Project, Conservation Architect Caroline Whately and builder John Cassidy who have been collaborating for the last number of years to revitalise Ship Street. This collective has convened around the understanding that Ship Street is a site that intersects many of the areas of concern covered in the draft plan including sustainable regeneration in compact urban area, the conservation and redevelopment of an area of special architectural, artistic, cultural and historical significance as well as a residential area, they state.
