The Council is supportive in principle of initiatives such as the ‘Love Sligo’ local business card scheme as a means of promoting local economic activity. However, it is considered that any such scheme would be most effective if led and driven by the business community itself, with coordination and collaboration between participating businesses.

In this regard, the Council’s Tourism Unit will be progressing the ‘Love Lucan’ social media campaign over the summer period, which seeks to support local businesses and promote the area.

In terms of broader complementary town and village support measures, any relevant initiatives or proposals will be brought forward to Members through the Economic, Enterprise and Tourism SPC and the appropriate Area Committee by the relevant department or business unit, as they arise.
