Work starts on £1.3m Enniskillen Waterfront facelift
Social Development Minister John Spellar has welcomed the commencement of work on a £1.3 million project that will transform the waterfront adjoining Queen Elizabeth Boulevard and Queen Street in Enniskillen.
The Minister said the project would greatly enhance the appearance of the area as well as improving access to the river for local residents and tourists.
New and enhanced walkways, landscaping, fishing stands and jetties along this stretch of the River Erne are key features of the transformation which is funded by the Department for Social Development with contributions from Waterways Ireland and the Department for Regional Development. It includes access for disabled people and has been designed in an environmentally sensitive manner.
The project is due to commence immediately and will follow on from the current work in the area being carried out by Water Service.
