A key purpose of local government is also to promote the well-being and quality of life of the public and communities. Accordingly, the Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) was established in April 2014 to develop, co-ordinate and implement a coherent and integrated approach to local and community development. This committee is overseeing the preparation of a 6-year Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) for Co. Roscommon and will coordinate, manage and oversee the implementation of relevant local and community development programmes. The agreed Local Action Group (LAG) for the delivery of the LEADER Programme 2014– 2020 in Co. Roscommon is Roscommon Local Development Committee (LCDC), with Roscommon LEADER Partnership designated by Roscommon LCDC as the Implementing Partner. To this end, a Statement of Roles and Responsibilities (Broad Areas of Agreement) between the LAG and Roscommon LEADER Partnership is in place (see Appendix 1). This will be developed into a Service Level Agreement for the implementation of the LEADER Programme 2014-2020 in the county, subject to the approval by the DECLG of this Local Development Strategy. The composition of the LAG and operational structures, in particular for the delivery of LEADER, are presented in this section, detailing the management, financial and organisational capacity to effectively manage and implement the Local Development Strategy. 1.1 ORGANISATION DETAILS Organisation Details Legal Name of LAG Roscommon Local Community Development Committee Business Name Roscommon LCDC Postal Address Roscommon County Council, Courthouse, Roscommon, Co.

    Committee 1 Roscommon That the Revised Local Electoral Boundary Shall Ensure That In

    18.331 Local Electoral Area Boundary Committees - Committee 1 Roscommon That the revised local electoral boundary shall ensure that in the case of Roscommon that a local electoral area shall be designed around the urban centre of Roscommon County Town and encompass the surrounding villages and rural hinterland thus taking account of local and community identities and linkages. Please see attached a map showing Roscommon County Town and its radius of linkage. These linkages include shopping, services including doctors and dentists, Garda Station, hospital, local schools, after school activities, sports, Library. At present people in the surrounding areas of Athleague DED, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Kilbegnet and Donamon continue to frequent Roscommon Town for all of the above. However they do not have ease of access to their Municipal District Office. The Roscommon Municipal District is a few minutes drive away however the Athlone Municipal District office is 40 minutes drive away. No other area in the County is so removed from an area office which is ironic considering it is just minutes from the Roscommon Municipal district. The Roscommon MD has an area office in Roscommon and Castlerea. The Boyle MD has an area office in Boyle and Ballaghaderren and Strokestown. And the Athlone MD has one area office in Monksland. The structure is not servicing the people of Athleague, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Rosmoylan and Donamon. The simple solution is to reconnect them electorally with their local town, the County Town, Roscommon. Roscommon Town Team is working very effectively servicing Roscommon Town and surrounding areas however it is not connected to Athleague, Fuerty, Castlecoote, Rosmoylan and Donamon as they are in the Athlone MD and their closest Town Team is in Monksland (40 minutes away).

The County Development Plan is a document that sets out the overall strategy and vision for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over the 6 year plan period. The Plan will be prepared in the context of the framework of national and regional strategies and guidelines, and must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The Plan consists of a written statement and accompanying maps. The County Development Plan is a material consideration in making decisions on future planning applications. WHY GET INVOLVED?
