Banbridge Community Regeneration Limited was established in
2001 to focus on the economic development, community development and regeneration of Banbridge Town Centre.

The company is represented by day traders, night traders, local business and
community groups as well as councillors, council officers and PSNI. They are tasked with driving the new economy that is envisaged for the town centre and with upgrading town centre facilities to achieve this. The result of these efforts can be seen in:

• new and improved facilities,
• a more attractive environment,
• new developments,
• increased inward investment,
• an increase in visitor numbers and
• the introduction of more quality high street stores and independent
  retailers.

All will bring new life to the town centre.

Town Centre Manager
A Town Centre Manager is working to co-ordinate the many parties and processes involved, and to oversee the town centre management strategy (including a significant marketing budget to attract investors, new residents and visitors).

The Town Centre manager will establish an economically productive,
culturally vibrant and environmentally sustainable town centre. In turn this
will reduce dereliction, increase urban regeneration, enhance the environment and increase promotion. Of equal importance is the requirement to improve communication and networking with all stakeholders and increase exploitation of funding opportunities.
