Today on my proposal Westmeath County Council commenced the public consultation process to select the location for the provision of a Skate Park in Mullingar. The process will involve public engagement in selecting the right site
and also invite submissions for any other potential site not currently selected by the Council. It is hoped that come the September meeting the Council will be in a position to select a location which will allow them at that stage to seek funding for the project.
The five locations selected are as follows:
1-Town Park
2-Fairgreen Large Green area
3-Large green area along canal near old Grange Motors site.
4-Behind Childcare Centre on lands in Robinstown where the proposed regional sports centre has been planned.
5-Green area behind Council Buildings at rear of car park known as Bleach Yard.
These locations can be added to and the Council will welcome submissions suggesting any other potential site. Drawings will soon be available to view on the Westmeath County web site which will allow you see the exact locations. As soon as I have dates for the commencement of the consultation process I will post here immediately. Additionally these sites are only proposals and no definite decision will take place until after the process has been completed.
Additionally on my proposal €10,000 was allocated to the design work for this project and I today also proposed that substantial monies from paid parking be made available for the Skate Park in the next year’s budget estimates.
