Council Set to Carry Out £2 Million Refurbishment at Steeple House

Refurbishment works, estimated at £2 million, are due to commence later this year on Steeple House and the surrounding parkland. Development of the park area will include new accessible pathways, interpretative signage and promotion of the historic Round Tower. The original stable block will be converted into a flexible exhibition area, workshop and café.

In addition to the redevelopment of Steeple House, partner on the site Apricot Heathcare Ltd, will be developing a modern purpose-built community and health facility. Apricot have a strong desire to see as many services as possible delivered through the new facility which will take localised pressures away from the hospital but also help improve the quality of healthcare to our residents.

Mayor of Antrim and Newtownabbey, Councillor Billy Webb commented;

I am encouraged by the progression of the Steeple Site plans as this will be a great space for our local residents and visitors to the area to enjoy. We will be working closely with the developer in relation to traffic flow, car parking and archaeology and history considerations during the refurbishment.
