It has also been prepared in line with the Council’s statutory obligations to eliminate discrimination, protect human rights and promote equality of opportunity under Section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Act 2014. Section 37 of the Garda Siochana Act 2005 places a statutory obligation on Roscommon County Council when performing our functions to have regard to the importance of taking steps to prevent crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour within our area of responsibility. Key to the development of this Plan is the consultation that was undertaken involving internal and external stakeholders. An extensive consultation process was undertaken with a large number of staff throughout the organisation. Public consultation was carried out by using a survey on social media platforms which we advertised in the local press. The Corporate Plan will be reviewed and proofed over the lifetime of the Plan as new Strategies and Plans, such as the LECP, are developed. This Corporate Plan sets out the Council’s objectives for the next five years under the following three priorities that will deliver our mission, reflect the views of our people and build sustainable communities in a changing environment: Quality of life Economic and Quality and well-being community service to for all development our people 3 Working with you.

  • West View, Cloonfad County Roscommon
    WEST VIEW, CLOONFAD COUNTY ROSCOMMON Prepared by: Giorria Environmental Services July 2020 1 INTRODUCTION In the following report management recommendations are made to help your organisation make small changes to the way you manage your area for biodiversity. By making one or two small changes in the way we manage our green areas can make a huge difference for nature and wildlife. Some changes, like reducing frequency of mowing, can not only add to the biodiversity in your area but can also make life easier for volunteers by reducing workload. Changes can also lead to cost savings over the long-term. For example, instead of spending money every year buying annuals, an investment can be made creating a bed of pollinator-friendly perennials which will last many years. The One Change for Biodiversity Project has by organised by the Heritage Office in Roscommon County Council. The project is funded by the Department of Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht under the National Biodiversity Action Plan. Let everyone know the great work you are doing for pollinators and biodiversity. The Roscommon County Council Heritage Office (email [email protected]) would love to hear how you get on with your ‘One Change for Biodiversity’. If your group is on social media share your progress using the hastags #lovenature #roscommonheritage #inthistogether and tag @RoscommonCountyCouncil and @RoscommonHeritageNewsandInformation on your posts so we know how you are getting on. Communities groups are also encouraged to log your actions on the Pollinators.ie website (https://pollinators.ie/record-your-actions/) and write it into your Tidy Towns report for next year’s competition.
