A planned rejuvenation project for Castlepollard will see the town’s Market House refurbished, development of a new town park and measures taken to develop the area as a key tourism hub for the area.

The refurbishment of the Market House will provide a much needed home and base of operation for local community groups and organisations, in a central and accessible location In the heart of the town. It is hoped that it will become a meeting place for existing groups and encourage the formation of many new and diverse groups. The Market House shall be developed further to serve as a visitor information and cultural resource centre for locals and visitors.

A new town park and play area with associated equipment, set in a landscaped environment with paths and seating will also be a welcome addition to the town.

Based on information received, an initial €410,000 will be allocated for these projects. A public consultation process will be carried our in due course.

Many thanks to all who answered our call for letters of endorsement for these projects.
