An information evening will take place in the Clan na Gael GFC clubrooms on Tuesday detailing what is involved in the next phase of the Cox’s Demesne Regeneration Project.
The second phase of the project is due to commence in early January and will see 14 new houses built in the estate.
While welcoming the next phase of the project, Sinn Féin councillor Edel Corrigan has urged as many residents as possible to attend Tuesday’s meeting, which will get underway at 7pm.
““While I welcome the investment into the area for the improvement and supply of much needed additional housing units, community consultation and involvement needs to be top priority at all times to ensure the community’s needs are top priority. Who knows a community better than those who live in it?
“I welcome the council’s suggestion that the community and residents should have direct engagement with the project management team and I hope that at Tuesday’s meeting, those in attendance will consider putting forward a number of residents to represent them at any site management meetings throughout the construction process.
“A strong clear line of communication needs to be established and maintained between residents and the local authority to ensure all the needs and objectives of this project are met to improve the quality of provision of services to the community.
“I would encourage residents from the area to attend the meeting on Tuesday evening where information on the project works programme will be available and hopefully people will have an opportunity to have their questions answered,” said Cllr Corrigan.
