Urban Wayfinding Strategies

In November 2023, the Council appointed consultants to develop Wayfinding Strategies for Bangor, Comber, Donaghadee, Holywood and Newtownards.  This was an action arising from the Masterplan Reviews completed in 2023. 

Designing unique and tailored wayfinding strategies for each town and city is crucial to enhancing the overall visitor experience and encouraging exploration of key destinations.  By providing clear wayfinding to local heritage, attractions, services and other points of interest, such strategies can help boost local businesses and increase dwell time, ultimately benefiting both residents and tourists alike. 

The Wayfinding Strategies for Bangor, Comber, Donaghadee, Holywood and Newtownards were completed late 2024 and can be accessed below:
