Westmeath County Council have launched a fantastic countywide Shopfront Enhancement Scheme aimed at regenerating and revitalising our streetscapes. They are encouraging and supporting business owners to avail of the grant funding to improve their individual shopfronts.
The scheme will result in a more attractive environment that residents, shoppers, visitors and businesses can enjoy. The council also envisages that the scheme will assist in promoting the towns and villages of Westmeath as attractive places for social and business interaction, with positive benefits for everyone.

If your shopfront is looking tired or dated and you think your business would benefit with a makeover, the first thing you need to do is give us a call. We will arrange a consultation with one of our experienced staff to meet up and go through options that will work best for your needs. The shopfront enhancement scheme covers more than signage. It also covers other essentials like repairs, painting, lighting and glazing. From an initial consultation we design your new look, and when you are entirely happy to go ahead, we will liase with any other tradespeople involved to ensure that colour schemes and placement of new fittings ties in with the overall design, ensuring a smooth transition from old to new.
To make you application, you need to submit details of your proposal. This includes your new artwork with images of similar work. Details of materials and construction will also be required. If this sounds complicated, fear not, we will do this for you and help with your application… the rest of it is easy!
Some like minded retailers trading in the same area are considering group proposals. They are getting together and pooling their ideas and working together to benefit their entire area.
This is a great idea! Having worked on many community projects over the years, we know what works well and we would jump at the opportunity to work with enthusiastic entrepreneurs with a vision!
This is where we can get really creative, ensuring that one business both compliments and contrasts with the next, ultimately changing the streetscape for the best. This is exactly what many of our towns and villages need at the moment. Again, we would liase with groups, explore options and colour schemes and create a whole new look and a brand new buzz for your area!
