Dozens of Clarecastle residents gathered at Clarecastle National School recently for a discussion on the future of the Village.
An extensive consultation process is underway in the village, initiated by Clarecastle Community Development CLG and facilitated by local woman Sinéad Doody, to collect people’s views on what they would like to see in the village.
A ‘Village Team’ will be established following this consultation process to decide what should go in to the community plan, produce clear goals and identify existing groups, new groups and state agencies to drive each action.
The new plan will build on Clarecastle’s rich culture of volunteerism and on a decades of community leadership. It will adopt Clarecastle Tidy Town’s 5-year development plan as a key component of the overall plan.
The visual transformation of the village was instrumental in Clarecastle securing a 2023 Tidy Towns national bronze medal. For more information on the process please see: https://clarecastle.ie/community-plan/
