Plans to move Causeway Coast & Glens Museum Service to Diamond Centre "99% there"

Plans to move Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s Museum Service are “99% there”, elected members have been told.

Following a presentation to members of the Leisure and Development Committee by Head of Culture, Julie Welsh, DUP Alderman Aaron Callan voiced concern the report did not contain information around plans to move into the Diamond Shopping Centre.

Ms Welsh assured Alderman Callan that “shelves were going up”, with “only a couple more to do”.

“The move is 99% there and we’re doing some design around that front space to make it welcoming.

“We’re trying to encourage people to use that space, there’s going to be some tactile displays, and lots of exciting things are going to happen there, I’m being told.

“The staff say the Diamond Centre is very quiet, so hopefully this will help to brighten it up and we’ll be doing work with the likes of the libraries and school children and community projects, to try and bring people in.”
