STRABANE’S town centre manager says she is hopeful that local businesses can bounce back from lockdown as well as “grow and evolve.”
Emma McGill, who is the town centre development manager for Strabane Business Improvement District (BID), was speaking ahead of a forthcoming ballot for the BID renewal which will take place later in the year.
Ms McGill says the BID will continue to help local businesses post-Covid and as such, the thrust of the BID’s second term would be shaped by an ongoing consultation process.

“My hopes are that businesses can resume trading in confidence, welcome their customers back and that no further lockdowns are needed,” she said. “I also hope that Strabane town centre doesn’t lose many businesses as a result of the pandemic and that we can see life and vibrancy returning to the streets.

Unease has emerged over the fate of Grade Four learners even as the government directed that the children remain at home when schools open on Monday.
In a circular to all regional, county and sub-county directors of education, the Ministry of Education states that Grade Four children must remain at home.
The May 3 circular by Basic Education Principal Secretary Jwan Julius says that only Pre-Primary 1 and 2, Grade One to Three, Standard Five to Seven and Form One to Three learners will resume classes on Monday next week.

VIC Premier
As Victorian students head back to school, the Andrews Labor Government is making it safer and easier to get to class, with new innovative pedestrian crossing technology and electronic speed signs being rolled out across the suburbs.
Rolling out across the west, east and south east of Melbourne, 75 new dynamic pedestrian crossings will use sensors and high definition cameras to detect how many people are waiting at a crossing and adjust the crossing time accordingly – keeping students and families moving, and cutting idle time for motorists when crossings are quiet.
As part of the Labor Government’s $340 million investment in Victorian roads, the program is targeting intersections with high pedestrian traffic or near train stations, like Clarinda Primary School, St Joseph’s Primary School in Boronia and Heathdale Christian College in Werribee, as well as delivering 125 new electronic speed signs in school zones.
