Ms Alison Harvey:

Tralee is worth looking at as well because there has been collaboration in that respect. That started with the collaborative town centre health check, CTCHC, programme we did a few years ago and those relationships continued. During Covid-19, the engineers met the people from the chamber on a regular basis to ensure they were happy in terms of space and widening of pavements etc. Tralee has really jumped in with help from Kerry County Council and the chamber. It is definitely worth a look. The vacancy rate we discovered when we did the baseline was 24%, which was very high, so those networks that were created are really important. This goes back to what we said about participation and a collaborative approach.
