The Town Centre First policy was launched by the government in 2022 and it aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community. As a result, Tipperary County Council is working with Town Teams around the county to create Town Centre First Plans for towns and villages.

Funding for this Plan is in place and work has commenced to appoint a team of consultants to work with the Town Team to prepare a Town Centre First Plan for Thurles. As the consultants reach the final stages in mapping out the vision and objectives for the regeneration of the town there will be public consultation to ensure that residents have the opportunity to make a submission on the plan for Thurles.
