The new sculpture on the roundabout at the bottom of the Station Road in Whiteabbey has become a real talking point for passing motorists and local residents. The sculpture’s sailing theme celebrates Whiteabbey’s strong links to the nautical trade, ships and maritime passage and has been put in place as a result of the Council taking part in the cross border EU Interreg coastal towns and villages’ regeneration project. The coastal towns and villages’ project has provided European funding for 14 towns and villages, including Whiteabbey, to carry out environmental improvement schemes. In Whiteabbey consultation has taken place with local residents and traders and a village plan has been developed. The sculpture is part of the overall village plan. The Council’s Economic Development Manager, Lisa O’Kane commented: “The designer Stephen Todd has created a very unique landmark feature for Whiteabbey and we hope it will raise the profile and identity of the village on one of main tourist routes to the Antrim Coast and Glens. The overall project aim is to improve the potential of these coastal locations as places to invest and to stop and visit. The Whiteabbey village plan made a number of recommendations. They include an entrance feature for the village, the creation of a village brand/identity which will be used in banners and information boards within the village and new additional street furniture.” The coastal towns and villages’ project includes coastal settlements on the Irish Sea and the Strangford / Carlingford Lough coastlines. 14 towns and villages across the three counties of Antrim, Down and Louth are included in the programme. They are Waterfoot, Whitehead, Whiteabbey, Groomsport, Millisle, Ballywalter, Ballyhornan, Killough, Newcastle, Rostrevor, Warrenpoint, Greenore, Bellurgan and Blackrock.
