    Sligo County Council Draft Strategic Policy Committees Scheme 2019-2024 August 2019 CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2 2. Corporate Policy Group 3 3. Lobbying Act – Transparency Code 3 4. Role and objectives of Strategic Policy Committees 5 5. Structure and operation 6 6. Consultation/Nominations 8 7. Procedures for Adoption of Scheme 11 8. Operation of SPC’s 12 1 1. Introduction The statutory basis for establishment of Strategic Policy Committees (SPCs) is set out in Section 48 of the Local Government Act 2001 as amended by Section 41 of the Local Government Reform Act 2014. The SPCs Assist the Council in the formulation, development and review of policy; Reflect the major functions or services of a local authority; Are tailored to the size, membership and administrative resources of the Council; and Have one third of their membership drawn from sectors relevant to the work of the Committee. SPCs have a major role in assisting and advising the Council in relation to functions of a strategic statutory nature. They also have functions in other areas including the establishment of priorities for particular services. The SPC system is intended to give councillors and relevant sectoral interests an opportunity for full involvement in the policy-making process from the early stages, when policy options are more fluid. The SPCs provide elected members with external views as they discharge their strategic role in the development of the local authority, including their policy development and oversight roles within the local authority. While the role of each SPC is to assist the Council in the formulation and development of policy, the final policy decisions rest ultimately with the full Council.

  • 42. Rosses Point Mini-Plan
    42. Rosses Point Mini-Plan 42. Rosses Point Mini-Plan Community facilities Community facilities in Rosses Point consist of two churches, a grave- yard, Garda station and primary school. There are also some excellent recreational facilities such as a golf course and clubhouse, a yacht club and other facilities associated with the beach. Whilst some lands have been specifically zoned to accommodate additional community facilities, a flexible approach should be taken towards proposals for community developments on other suitable sites. Commercial and enterprise development The type of commercial activities in the village is evidence of its signifi- cant tourism role. Enterprise is generally focused on the hospitality sector. Given the size of this settlement, there is a relatively limited retail offering. A flexible and supportive approach should be adopted to promote the extension of the range of services and facilities available within the village. Infrastructure Rosses Point is served by the regional road R291, which links to the N15 Sligo-Dublin road and to Sligo City. The water supply is sourced from Kilsellagh and currently there are no capacity issues. The existing wastewater facilities are overloaded, particularly during peak tourist season. Together with Ballincar and Cregg, upgraded wastewater infrastructure is to be provided in Rosses Point. This will involve pumping into the Sligo Main Drainage Scheme. Village Profile Population and housing osses Point is a coastal settlement located approximately 8 km According to 2006 Census information, Rosses Point had a population of northwest of Sligo City, accessed via the regional road R291. The 872 persons (a 13% increase on the 2002 figure of 774 persons).

  • 17. Ballincar Mini-Plan
    17. Ballincar Mini-Plan 17. Ballincar Mini-Plan Community facilities There are no community facilities in the village at present, as these needs are currently met in neighbouring settlements. In order to address this issue, specific lands have been zoned to accommodate community facili- ties. However, a flexible approach should be taken towards proposals for community developments on other suitable sites. Commercial and enterprise development The lack of diversity of commercial functions in Ballincar limits its role as a service centre for the surrounding area. The commercial function is confined to the hotel in the centre of the village. A range of other services should be promoted within the village, particularly within lands zoned for mixed uses. Infrastructure Ballincar is well served by the R291 Regional Road, which provides links to the N15 Sligo–Donegal Road. The water supply is sourced from Kilsellagh. Currently there are no capa- city issues. At present there is no public wastewater treatment facility in the village. It is planned to provide wastewater infrastructure for Ballincar, Rosses Point and Cregg. This will involve pumping into the Sligo Main Drainage Scheme. Village Profile Population and housing According to census data, the population of Ballincar increased from 510 allincar is a coastal settlement on the northern shore of Sligo Bay, to 526 in the 2002–2006 period. This data seems to have included a wider approximately 3.5 km north-west of Sligo City, along the Regional rural area, as the survey carried out by Council planners in mid-2009 esti- BRoad R291. mates the actual village population at 235 persons.
