Roscommon County Council to host Webinar on the Draft County Development Plan

The Forward Planning Unit of Roscommon County Council are hosting a live Webinar event to explain the details of the Draft County Development Plan.

The Draft Plan was published at the end of April and submission and observations from members of the public are welcomed and encouraged until the 2nd of July.

Lead Officer of the Forward Planning Team, Pio Byrnes, said “Engagement with the public at this stage is a vital part of the plan making process. We’d like to encourage as many people as possible to become engaged with and get involved in contributing to the County Development Plan. We want to hear people’s views, expectations and hopes about how they feel the county should grow and prosper in the coming years.

The County Development Plan is a hugely significant document. It will cover everything from population growth, to employment and economic development, transport, tourism, natural resources, community development, telecommunications, culture and the environment. Everything of note that happens in the county is covered by the County Development Plan. This is why public input is so vital.

As part of the ongoing consultation process for the Draft Roscommon County Development Plan, we are hosting a Webinar on Wednesday 26th May 2021 from 14:30 to outline to members of the public what the Draft Roscommon County Development Plan is about and how people can get involved.”

Members of the public can register for this webinar here where there is also the opportunity to ask a question you would like discussed at the webinar.
