The following series of events will take place during April and May as part of the community consultation:
Master Plan model viewings
A scale model of the masterplan will be available to view in the Community Centre hall from Tuesday 30thMarch till the 10th April.
In order for viewings to take place in a safe way they will have be done on an appointment basis (weekdays 9.00am - 5.00pm). If you want to view the masterplan model you can call 086-6088786 (between 9.00am – 1.00pm) to book a time and date.
