A Chara
West Limerick Resources, in cooperation with the Abbeyfeale Community Development Association (ACDA), would like to invite you to attend a public meeting in the Glorach Theatre Abbeyfeale on Thursday May 21st at 7.30pm. The purpose of this meeting is to consult with the Community on developing the most appropriate community structures in Abbeyfeale to assist with the implementation of the recently prepared Community Enhancement Plan.
As you may be aware, this dedicated Community Enhancement Plan was recently launched for Abbeyfeale. It was commissioned by the Abbeyfeale Community Development Association (ACDA) to provide a blue print as to the future development of Abbeyfeale as a Town and Community. This plan covered a range of issues including Infrastructure, Tourism, Enterprise and Tidy Towns. It also included a recommendation on the development of an appropriate umbrella community structure that would act a coordinating body and focus efforts to develop the town.
Working in cooperation with the ACDA, West Limerick Resources has agreed to facilitate the development of this structure, examining what is currently in place in the town and helping assess and implement any changes required taking on board the recommendations made in Abbeyfeale’s Enhancement Plan.
It is hoped that this structure will assist with the implementation of the proposed actions identified in the Community Enhancement Plan by making the development of community projects more efficient, offering added value and make funding applications more appealing to funding organisations. The existing structures in Abbeyfeale will continue to operate independently but would work towards the same strategic aims to develop Abbeyfeale as an attractive place to live, work and visit.
The indicative representation on this structure, as contained in Abbeyfeale’s Enhancement Plan, is as follows:
1. Tidy Towns
2. Business Representatives
3. Festivals Representative
4. Cultural Representative
5. Representative from the National School
6. Representative from Secondary School
7. Representative from Youth Group
8. Representative from Active Retired Group
9. Representative from GAA
10. Representative from Rugby Club
11. Representative from Soccer Club
12. Min 3 Representative from Community Sector
13. Representative from West Limerick Resources*
14. Representative from Gardai*
15. Elected Limerick County Councillor(s)*
*The latter 3 representatives may only be able to sit on the Board in an advisory capacity.
This meeting is your opportunity to have an input into the final format of this structure and to play and active role in enhancing Abbeyfeale for the benefit of all
Look forward to meeting you. Please feel free to distribute this invitation to those you think may be interested
