Data table and workings

Published UK House Price Index average price, all property types and all buyers, not seasonally adjusted. Entire series comes from the 2026-07 official full-file release, preserving its historical revisions and exact area codes. It is a mix-adjusted average, not the median price paid.

Prices are in pounds at the time, not adjusted for inflation.

Whole local authority area; not a typical home listing or the budget needed by a first-time buyer.

Provisional estimates can be revised. Historical boundaries follow the exact published source code; no old-code series has been relabelled.

Northern Ireland uses quarterly house-price observations repeated across months; repeated months are not new transactions.

The table retains the full reviewed history when the chart is shortened. Preset ranges end at this measure’s latest published period. Yearly windows count published annual periods; monthly windows count months. Gaps are never filled with estimates.

The action plan connects local evidence to proposed next steps. Announced projects and proposed responses are shown separately.

Keep restored city-centre buildings in active use

The Townscape Heritage scheme is reported complete, restoring historic properties for shops and homes; the Place Plan sets wider city priorities.

Restoration preserves buildings and creates usable space. The next question is whether the buildings stay occupied and support everyday city-centre life.

Give the Gaol a sustainable use beyond restoration

Earlier attempts to regenerate the vacant Gaol did not progress.

Proposed response: Test a viable operating model alongside heritage restoration and public access.

Evidence

What could help →

weakness

A landmark still without a settled use

The Gaol has been vacant since 1986; the current engagement does not establish an approved business case.

Proposed response: Test viable public and commercial uses together.

Armagh Gaol, overlooking The Mall

Armagh Gaol: finding a viable new use

Responsible body: Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council

What is still missing

The reviewed local schemes are a selected evidence collection, not a complete council capital programme.

Current service capacity, incomes, waiting lists, school demand and project outcomes need additional verified local evidence before firm claims can be made.

Project locations have not been matched to official ward boundaries. No ward-specific delivery claims are inferred.

Costs, funding and benefits are only reported where the selected official evidence states them; blank fields are not zero.
