Local Growth Plan to Be Reviewed in 2023 Sperrin Local Growth Plan To be reviewed in 2023 SEPTEMBER 2019 Sperrin Local Growth Plan Introduction & Welcome Community Planning is a process led by Derry City & Strabane District Council in conjunction with partners and communities to develop and implement a shared, long-term vision to improve the social, economic and environmental well-being of the Derry City & Strabane District area. It will also guide how our public services will work together locally to plan and deliver better services. Derry City & Strabane District Council adopted a significant co-design process to develop the Strategic Growth Plan for the Derry & Strabane District. This included engaging with statutory organisations, business, community and voluntary organisations and interested citizens to agree the way in which the plan should be developed. There are 3 Pillars: • Social Well-being – to improve the quality of life of all our people now and in the future • Economic Well-being – to grow and sustain our economy to create more and better employment opportunities for everyone • Environmental Well-being – to live in a low carbon, sustainably designed and connected region 8 Local Growth Plans have been developed for Strabane Town and the 7 District Electoral Areas (Ballyarnett, Derg, Faughan, Foyleside, Sperrin, The Moor and Waterside). Extensive consultation has been carried out in each of the local community planning areas with 48 workshops held over the 2016 – 2017 period. The local community growth plans will feed into the overarching Strategic Growth Plan and their key purpose will be to develop local actions to address local needs. ‘Cluster Village Plans’ have also been developed across the Council area, to cover all 49 rural settlements, as part of the NI Rural Development Programme 2014-2020. These Plans complement the Local Growth Plans. They identify needs and actions at a village level within each DEA which reflect key priorities emerging from the Local Community Planning process. The approach of ‘clustering’ villages is for the Cluster Village Plans to encourage collaborative working between settlements. The Cluster Village Plans are, therefore, appendices to the Local Growth Plans and will be reviewed at the same time. The final Cluster Village Plans will be available at www.derrystrabane.com/rural. 2 6293_DCSDC_Local_Growth_Plan_Sperrin.indd 2 06/02/2019 11:23 As a result of our extensive co- design process the following outcomes were agreed and aligned to the three statutory pillars of wellbeing. These outcomes have also been developed and refi ned to closely align to those of the Northern Ireland Executive’s Programme for Government. The key actions have been developed by the thematic working groups, cross referenced and tested against the outcomes and are set out in the following pages. 6293_DCSDC_Local_Growth_Plan_Sperrin.indd 3 06/02/2019 11:23 • 4 6293_DCSDC_Local_Growth_Plan_Sperrin.indd 4 06/02/2019 11:23 Contents Page 1 This is our place 6 2 This is our time 8 A time of opportunity 8 A time of challenge 10 A time for a new story 12 3 Sperrin - Key Capital Projects 14 4 Outcomes and actions 16 Community & Social 16 Economy 22 Environment & Regeneration 28 6293_DCSDC_Local_Growth_Plan_Sperrin.indd 5 06/02/2019 11:23 1 Sperrin: This is Our Place The Sperrin Local Growth Plan area has At over 500million years old, the Sperrin With such a rich, natural and cultural a population of approximately 13,000 Mountains are the oldest mountain range heritage, augmented with vibrant festivals (Census 2011) representing 9% of the in the Province and extending to over and events, this is the perfect place to Derry City and Strabane District Council 40 miles (65km) along the border of experience traditional crafts, music and total population.

    A Seed is Sown 1884-1900 (1) Before the GAA From the earliest times, the people of Ireland, as of other countries throughout the known world, played ball games'. Games played with a ball and stick can be traced back to pre-Christian times in Greece, Egypt and other countries. In Irish legend, there is a reference to a hurling game as early as the second century B.C., while the Brehon laws of the preChristian era contained a number of provisions relating to hurling. In the Tales of the Red Branch, which cover the period around the time of the birth of Christ, one of the best-known stories is that of the young Setanta, who on his way from his home in Cooley in County Louth to the palace of his uncle, King Conor Mac Nessa, at Eamhain Macha in Armagh, practised with a bronze hurley and a silver ball. On arrival at the palace, he joined the one hundred and fifty boys of noble blood who were being trained there and outhurled them all single-handed. He got his name, Cuchulainn, when he killed the great hound of Culann, which guarded the palace, by driving his hurling ball through the hound's open mouth. From the time of Cuchulainn right up to the end of the eighteenth century hurling flourished throughout the country in spite of attempts made through the Statutes of Kilkenny (1367), the Statute of Galway (1527) and the Sunday Observance Act (1695) to suppress it. Particularly in Munster and some counties of Leinster, it remained strong in the first half of the nineteenth century.

The programme enables schools to target school improvement strategies which influence the families and communities that surround them so that a more holistic approach can be taken to improved achievement and attainment for children and young people at every stage of their development. The origins of the Extended Schools’ programme can be traced to the ‘Every Child Matters’ (ECM) agenda, which in Northern Ireland became the ‘Our Children, Our Young People, Our Pledge’ strategy which was co-ordinated by the Office of the First Minister and the Deputy First Minister, (OFMDFM). The aim of the strategy as launched by the Secretary of State in March 2006 was: To reduce underachievement and improve the life chances of children and young people by enhancing their educational development and fostering health, well-being and social inclusion through the integrated delivery of the support and services necessary to ensure every child has the best start in life.

Race Director’s Foreword Welcome to the 2018 edition of the SPAR Tour of Omagh. Now in its ninth year, the race is going from strength to strength thanks to the dedication of Omagh Wheelers members, and to the many volunteers and friends connected to Omagh Wheelers Cycling Club. In 2018, we continue to host two separate races: A4 and Women's. This special event gives both types of riders the opportunity to experience the demands and challenges of a three day event, which provides real competitive racing, and an excellent environment for riders to gain experience and develop. The demands of a three-day event are very different to a normal one-day race, as not only do riders have to try and recover before the demands of the next stage, but you also have a mixture of cycling disciplines to contend with: a time-trial stage which will benefit those strong against the clock, a King of the Hills (KOH) competition for the climbers, and a Points competition for riders with a Cavendish-style kick.
