QUESTION NO.

QUESTION: Councillor L. Whelan

"Is there any update on the process with Árd Mór community centre? There are thousands of local kids between árd mór and MacUilliam who are left without community centre facilities in their local vicinity. The space available in Árd Mór should be utilised as soon as possible?.

REPLY:

The local Community Development Team continues to liaise and work with both local residents and key statutory support agencies such as Foroige and Respond to identify suitable uses for the Ard Mor Neighourhood Centre. It is hoped that a range of suitable activities can be established to both help address local needs and assist in making the building sustainable. 

A number of upgrade works are also required to the building, Community Service have engaged with Architectural Services to have the building assessed and to identify the key items of upgrade works to ensure the building is compliant with all relevant health and safety facility guidelines.
