Canopy to weatherproof Waterford for events

A canopy-style roof on a public section of Waterford’s city centre is part of a €17.3m urban renewal programme due to begin next month.

Canopy to weatherproof Waterford for events

The canopy will be placed over the Apple Market at John St, adjacent to the southern end of the city’s main thoroughfare. It is aimed at “weatherproofing” it for year-round use to make it suitable for events, such as festivals and concerts.

It’s part of a two-year renewal programme funded by the Government, the European Regional Development Fund, and Waterford City and County Council. According to a statement from the council, the work “will improve both the functionality and appearance of much of the city centre”.
