HEADED ITEM NO. 12

Report on Village Improvements Plan Projects

The Village Initiatives were commenced in 2013, initially based on grant aided funding to local groups. The Village Initiative has evolved in 2014 into a more focused program with capital works budgeted at circa €5,000,000. The program seeks to develop a focused project within each identified village to maximise the impact and engage with the following guiding themes- 

Economically 

Socially 

Environmentally 

The program evolved through SWAT [strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats] analysis, and local consultation, to the current stage where work has been completed or is underway on majority of the 11 actions identified. The capital projects proposed are now defined with clear parameters, and sufficiently developed to be presented for approval in principle. A presentation, outlining the scope of the projects developed for the electoral area, will be given at the ACM.
