Council adopts new Memorial Policy

Tue, November 19, 2024

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council adopted a new policy for considering support for memorials. The policy provides Council's principles and conditions regarding memorials, together with a framework and criteria to be applied in the assessment of all applications made for support from Council.

In the context of the policy, public memorials include monuments, statues, markers, or other landscape features that honour significant historical figures or events. As an alternative to a public structural memorial, Council may also consider requests for a public commemorative name; in the form of naming or renaming of premises, buildings, rooms, council owned halls or centres.

The policy framework is designed to support and facilitate consistent, fair, transparent, and ethical approaches to decision-making that has the confidence of the Elected Members, Council Officers, and the wider constituency of the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council.
