The Annual Report outlines the scale and diversity of activities within the Council and demonstrates the commitment to providing high quality, accessible and inclusive services. In 2017 we experienced tangible evidence of Economic Growth in County Longford and renewed Central Government focus on our County. A number of local and national initiatives saw significant activity in County Longford in economic, tourism and community development throughout the year. Locally based companies Abbott and Panelto commenced work on major expansions with associated job creation. Government funded programmes such as the Town and Village Scheme, CLAR, REDZ, LIS and Rural Recreation Scheme, which required co-funding by Longford County Council brought benefits Cllr. Martin Mulleady to communities throughout the County in 2017. Cathaoirleach In 2017 County Longford made significant progress in developing tourism with investment in projects such as the Royal Canal Greenway, Cairn Hill Trail, Corlea Bog Walkway and the Granard Interpretative Centre. We also continued to collaborate with our neighbours and state agencies to develop regional tourism projects and to promote the Midlands as a tourist destination. The year also saw the commencement of the Center Parcs Longford Forest project as well as infrastructural investment, funding and announcements for County Longford by Government, Gas Networks Ireland, Irish Water and ESB as a direct result of the project. Among the other noteworthy achievements during the year were – The launch of the National Action Plan for Rural Ireland in Ballymahon by An Taoiseach in January. Paddy Mahon Chief Executive Minister English turned the sod for 16 social houses in Drumlish in February. The launch by Longford County Council of our Dublin Economic Forum and our Tourism Strategy in March. Creative Ireland Longford as part of its Cruinniú na Cásca programme organised a countywide cultural tour culminating in a very special evening concert illuminating the ancient Cistercian Abbey in Abbeyshrule, in April. Mercy Secondary School in Ballymahon and Moyne Community School both won awards at the National Final of the Student Enterprise Programme event held in Croke Park in May. Ministers Naughten and Moran turned the sod for the Corlea Bog Walkway project in June. We purchased the old Providers Building in Longford Town in July. An Taoiseach turned the sod at Center Parcs in August. Our Unfinished Estates team received a European Award for best practice in addressing Unfinished Estates in September. We were awarded Silver Medal by National Irish Safety Organisation at the All Ireland Occupational Safety Awards and Minister Ring officially opened the Granard Butter Market and launched the National Town and Village Programme in Granard in October. Our Housing Team moved into the former Town Council Offices in November. The sale was agreed on the Longford Shopping Centre in December. These achievements reflect a County whose County Council is providing real and effective representation, service and leadership for its communities. They also reflect a County whose communities are empowered to improve the quality of life for themselves and for our County. The achievements outlined in this Annual Report could not have been accomplished without the collective input of the Elected Members, the Cathaoirleach, the Corporate Policy Committee, Municipal District Committees, Members of the Strategic Policy Committees, the Management Team and Employees of Longford County Council, together with the many voluntary and community organisations with whom the Council interacts. It is only through their continued commitment that the organisation can face these challenges with confidence and their support and co-operation is gratefully acknowledged. 2 ELECTED MEMBERS OF LONGFORD COUNTY COUNCIL Granard Municipal District Cllr.

  • Annex 3: Housing Strategy
    Annex 3: Housing Strategy EXECUTIVE and Non Technical SUMMARY The Longford County Housing Strategy 2007-2016 clearly sets out the requirement for the existing and future housing needs of Longford County. This Housing Strategy has been prepared in accordance with the legislative requirements, using all relevant and up-to-date information and data. Based on the undertaking of this strategy, which applies a clear and structured approach and methodology, the following are the principal recommendations to be adopted by Longford County Council and Longford Town Council: - Based on the assessment of social and affordable housing need for Longford County from 2007 to 2016, as illustrated in the summary table below, Longford County Council and Longford Town Council will be justified in reserving 20% of all eligible housing developments in order to cater for social and affordable housing need. - The breakdown of this 20% into Social and Affordable Housing will be determined by the existing concentration of social housing in the proposed development area. - It is essential to provide an even spread of housing of all types and encourage social integration. - There will be a need to provide an additional 6045 residential units during the period 2007-2016 to ensure that there is adequate housing supply to meet demand. - Implementation of the objectives of this Housing Strategy for Longford County in relation to Social and Affordable Housing will be by means of conditions attached to planning permissions, as set out in Part V Section 96 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, amended 2002. - The monitoring and review of the Housing Strategy will be in accordance with Part V Section 95 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000.
