Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the purpose of promoting the benefit of the inhabitants of Portadown and improving their conditions of life and economic wellbeing are:- (i) The provision of a shared space, namely the Millennium Court Complex and Arts Centre in Portadown to provide a free access area to promote cultural, artistic and other
activities across the social divide to improve the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Portadown; (ii) The advancement of education of the public in the areas of culture and the arts; (iii) Contributing to and improving the social and cultural welfare of the Portadown community. These benefits can be evidenced in records kept by the organisation of the numbers of those of all ages who have attended workshops, exhibitions and educational courses. Evidence can also be found in surveys of living standards and general well-being from the increasing number of inhabitants who make use of the premises and avail of the services provided. Some private benefit is obtained by the owners of small businesses who rent units and use the market place but this is ancillary to the main purpose and is greatly outweighed by the gains in public benefit. No harm arises from these purposes.
