CONSULTING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES
With proposals being finalised to pedestrianise
O’Connell Street in mid August, Sligo Local
Authorities are consulting with local business
people and other stakeholders to advise of the
various arrangements. The ‘Traffic &
Transportation Plan’ for Sligo identified the
pedestrianisation of Sligo’s core streets as a
priority following the opening of the inner
relief road. The removal of traffic from Sligo’s
main street will enhance Sligo city centre and
will add another dimension to the ‘shopping
experience’ in Sligo.
WATER METERING
The recent series of information sessions on
water metering hosted by Sligo County Council
and Veoila (Ireland) Ltd were very well attended
by both the business and farming community.
There was a particular interest shown in the
area of water conservation – advice and tips on
this subject can be accessed on Sligo County
Council’s website at
www.sligococo.ie
The Council recently signed a €2.8m contract for
the metering of private group schemes and
critical mains replacement, which will be of
major benefit to group schemes in their efforts
to conserve water.
REWARDING THE COMMUNITY
Sligo County Council hosted two receptions
recently to reward people who make a special
contribution to their community. The Pride of
Place Awards acknowledged the special
contribution of the dedicated people in Aclare,
Coolaney, Enniscrone and Cranmore. The
Cathaoirleach’s Awards winners for 2006 were
South Sligo Macra na Feirme, Eugene O Connor,
Pegasus, Seamus McCormack, Realt na Mara
National School, Tony Clarke and Ransboro
Development Association.
