Submissions sought on Moville
20.04.10
THE people of Moville
are being urged to have their say on the future of
their town.
Donegal County Council is about to commence its
focus on the seaside town as part of the new County
Development Plan.
Inishowen Councillor Pádraig MacLochlainn has been
informed that the Council will begin taking formal
submissions from the local community from July this
year but initial submissions can be made straight
away.
Cllr MacLochlainn said he secured a focus on
Moville's needs in a meeting last year with the then
director of planning services, Francie Coyle.
He also tabled a motion to Council and made repeated
representations at local authority monthly meetings. |

Cllr MacLochlainn said:
"This is an important breakthrough for the people of
Moville. It has been a long time since the town has
had a statutory plan based focus. Town plans are so
important in that they provide an agreed framework
for a community to build into the future.
"Moville has suffered |
economically over
recent times but its strength, as always, is its
people and its community spirit. This town plan is a
unique opportunity for all to come together and have
a say on what needs to be done."
Businesses, community groups, sporting organisations
and the people of Moville have been urged to
immediately make their initial submissions to Gerry
Richards of the Central Planning Unit at the
Carndonagh Public Service Centre on 0749373700. They
can then prepare their formal submissions for July.
"This is your plan and we need to get it right for
you," added Cllr MacLochlainn. |
