Ballymore Redevelopment Community Reference Group

In December 2007, the project team took nominations for the Ballymore Redevelopment Community Reference Group (CRG).

The aim of the CRG was to provide a forum for community consultation and information into the Master Planning process for Ballymore. The CRG  also acted as a channel for disseminating information about the project back to the community.
