With approvals already rolling out this is a great opportunity to get the cost of exterior redecorating covered.

If you need any help filling in the form or getting quotes please contact the council or DM and we’ll see how we can help.

Ballinakill property owners & occupiers are encouraged to act now as the deadline for the Streetscape Enhancement Scheme is fast approaching.

The deadline is 1 June, 4pm.

With up to €1,000 available towards exterior painting, this funding offers a simple way to freshen up properties while making a visible difference to the whole village.

If your property is located within the designated area, don’t miss this opportunity to be part of that change.
