A NEW strategy aimed at guiding the promotion and development of Kilkee over the next 10 years will be launched at Cultúrlann Sweeney on Monday next.
Prepared by Clare County Council, in association with Kilkee Town Council and various community groups, ” Towards a Better Kilkee: A Town Improvement & Economic Development Strategy 2014-2024” is expected to reinvigorate the resort town.
The short and medium term priorities outlined in the strategy include a branding and marketing exercise for Kilkee, establishing contact with owners of all opportunity sites, promoting the existing coastal walks by upgrading signage and information, and a survey of derelict sites in the town.
The plan also proposes upgrading works to the iconic seafront bandstand, a comprehensive scheme of street and lane signage, and a database of accommodation linked to a comprehensive new website for the town.
