The Town Team is very encouraged and gratified by the level of response to the community survey launched on the 24 August last.
Having received requests from several quarters to extend its deadline, the Team agreed at their monthly meeting last Monday (2nd October) to extend the consultation period to the 31 October 2023 in order to facilitate those missed the boat and expressed an interest in participating.
We look forward to completing this body of work, which will provide a valuable and informative resource in the preparation of Carrick on Suir’s plan for the future
The Carrick-on-Suir 'Town Centre First' Team and Tipperary County Council wish to hear from you, the Carrick-on-Suir and hinterland community, with your thoughts and views about the strengths and opportunities for Carrick-on-Suir. We would welcome your suggestions for what this town needs to make it a vibrant place in which to work, live and visit.

The Carrick on Suir Town Centre First Team came together in April 2023, to ensure the development and delivery on the Town Centre First Plan following the launch of Town Centre First – A Policy Approach for Irish Towns by the government in February 2022. Further information on the policy is available at
https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/473d3-town-centre-first-policy/
The team is made up of local representatives of economic and tourism development and business associations, community, youth, older persons organisations, sports, disability, and residents associations, theatre and arts groups, and social services groups along with the local authority representative. It operates under the chairmanship of Mr. Tony Musiol and is supported by the Town Regeneration Officer, Ms. Áine McCarthy, who is part of a network of Town Regeneration Officers operating under the guidance of a new national Town Centre First Office.
The Team’s first port of call is to open up a conversation with the citizens of Carrick on Suir and its hinterland and its business sector, to hear their views and aspirations for their town, and how they would like it to develop into the future. It will be an opportunity for all generations to have their say and input into the PLAN and the key actions and outcomes arising from it.
The survey is anonymous; however, if you wish to be involved in further consultation you may leave your details at the end. It should take no more than 15 minutes to complete. Click on the link to the survey here.
