Clane-Maynooth Municipal District Meeting, Friday, 6 September 2024
Councillor Pádraig McEvoy
Question:
Can the council outline how a funding allocation, announced by the Department of Rural and Community Development, will be used to progress the Clane Town Centre First Plan?
Report:
The adopted Clane Town Centre First Plan identified Wayfinding, town branding and identification and capitalising on the proximity of the River Liffey to Clane as opportunities that required further exploration. The Town Regeneration Officer on behalf of Clane Town Team submitted a funding application to the Department of Rural and Community Development to assist in progressing this area and are delighted that this proposal has been successful. It is hoped the funding will be used to engage consultants to carry out some or all of the following; prepare a detailed Wayfinding Strategy which will provide detailed design and costings for Town Gateways and walking routes/loops and enhancement of heritage sites, to examine a town branding scheme for Clane, including the provision of designs and costings for signage and to prepare a detailed plan which maximises the potential of the River Liffey in Clane.
Issued by: Ms. F. Byrne, Town Regeneration Officer.
