Enniskillen could see an exciting new development hit the town, which includes a 65-bed hotel and a five screen cinema. The ambitious plan for the mixed retail and leisure development on the vacant land of the former Unipork site will see a public exhibition take place on Tuesday March 26.

The event will take place at Enniskillen Library between 2pm and 8pm with details of the proposed venture revealed.

At present it is known that along with the hotel and cinema plans for the development also include six retail units, two garden centres, a coffee pod, restaurant and drive through, self service pay and pump station and 695 car parking spaces.

The public exhibition is being organised by the planning consultants, Inaltus Limited, who are based in Belfast.

The exhibition does not relate to a planning application and it a notice in today’s paper it states that “If a planning application is subsequently submitted to Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, normal neighbour notification and publicity will be undertaken at that time and you will have the opportunity to make formal representation regarding the proposal at that time.”

Unipork, which was first opened in 1966, closed in April 2000 with reports at the time estimating 200 job losses.
