CIVIC/COMMUNITY – Seatown Road<br />
Seatown Road is the community and civic centre of the town. The character area<br />
lies east between North Street and Main Street. School, community and civic<br />
buildings are located along this route that includes <strong>Fingal</strong> <strong>County</strong> Hall as well as<br />
<strong>Swords</strong> Castle. The Seatown Road has the potential to become a strong and<br />
attractive pedestrian route into the Town Centre in light of the proposals from<br />
Metro North to locate a stop at Seatown.<br />

COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL<br />
The North Street area is characterised by retail with a small mix of established<br />
terraced housing, some apartments as well as a hotel, offices and public houses.<br />
North Street also contains a number of independent specialist shops including a<br />
bicycle repair shop, garage repairs, motor sales, a carpet specialist and a<br />
photographers gallery. The area lacks a sense of enclosure, partly because of<br />
weak building lines and exposed surface carparking areas. There is also a high<br />
rate of vacant buildings (up to 27% of existing building stock). This provides<br />
opportunities for redevelopment of buildings and sites within this character area.<br />
