MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

That the Chief Executive considers installing a public noticeboard/public digital noticeboard on the main street of each of our historic villages, and also in the principal shopping areas where population growth has occurred outside of the historic villages. The purpose of these noticeboards would be to draw the attention of the public to pending public consultations, details of Council and local services, and important public events.”

REPORT:

In December 2019 the Council agreed to variation Number 5 of the current County Development Plan to permit electronic outdoor Advertising and Promotion signs in certain locations. In October 2020 the Council agreed a County wide local directional signage strategy to facilitate the role out of local direction signage at key locations (town/village centres, parks, transport nodes and heritage/culture trails) across the County. As set out in the strategy the design of signs will be guided by the Failte Ireland design types. The locations have now been agreed with the ACMs and the Council will now progress the design of signs. As part of this more detailed design work we can consider if and how Council specific information could be incorporated.
