Village Enhancement Projects
Victoria Hall Regeneration
Culmore Tourism & Craft Collective identified the potential of the vacant and derelict Victoria Hall and was successful in its application to DAERA for regeneration eligibility funding in 2017. To secure the funding and a successful outcome a collaborative approach between Culmore Tourism & Craft Collective, Culmore Community Partnership and Greater Shantallow Area Partnership was established.
In the absence of any community facilities in the rural border village the regeneration is welcomed by the community.
