Chief Executive of Wexford County Council, Tom Enright visited Enniscorthy last week and addressed proceedings at the launch of The Dome Training Centre and Sensory Garden at Gort na Greine, where he presented a positive picture of future developments for Enniscorthy.
Mr. Enright extended sincere congratulations to Michael Devereux and the Committee of the Enniscorthy Allotments Group and all their members for the fine work done to date and he wished them the very best of luck in going forward with their plans.
“We all know that the work of providing community facilities is never really finished; there will always be new demands, new challenges and new projects,” said Mr Enright, who added; “I look forward to seeing how the seeds that you have planted here will grow from acorns into wonderful trees.”
Mr Enright also remembered the elected members and thanked them for their support for other community projects being considered.
Speaking exclusively with WexfordLocal.com, Mr Enright said Wexford County Council has selected a site for a new Community Playground at Springvalley, on the Shannon side of the town, and approval is set to come before the next monthly meeting of Enniscorthy Municipal District Council.
The Council has been working in partnership with the GAA for the development of sporting and community facilities at Bellefield that will incorporate a playground, car parking and a market garden. Mr Enright acknowledged a significant financial investment from local businessman Sam McCauley towards this proposed development.
Meanwhile this week, Minister James Browne announced that Rapparees/Starlights GAA Club is to benefit from a grant to the value of €15,000 under the Healthy Ireland GAA Walking Tracks scheme.
Finally, Mr Enright stated the commencement of the planning process for a new playground, car park and public space in Bunclody.
