COMMUNITY COUNCIL
At the last meeting of the above Council, a schedule of work was drawn up for years ahead, involving a five-year plan. This plan largely depends on the community which the Council serves and with that in mind they are presently drawing up a questionnaire for circulation in their area to elicit the ideas and desires of the community. While legal finalisation of the hall site has taken some time, it is now in the last stages of planning. Repairs to the Library are also on the agenda and the Graveyard extension is well advanced in planning. The success of the floral displays has suggested further work in that area with the idea of a Tidy Towns Committee being considered. In the late autumn, a calendar for the coming year is in process and Santa will be more visible this year with a seasonal tree in the village. Dermot Mullane of Ballyvareen Village is well ahead with his project of the Youth Club and will be glad to hear your ideas and harness your interest in that worthy project. Funding for all these projects is always an issue and if you cannot participate in any of the above calendar of events, your €2 subscription will be a welcome aid to community development.
