  • Chapter 7 Development of Community Infrastructure

    Chapter 7 Development of Community Infrastructure

    Monaghan County Development Plan 2013-2019 Chapter 7 Development of Community Infrastructure 7.1 Introduction There has been a long history of community-led development with both the credit union and co-operative movements having their beginnings in the County. This continues to this day, with a large number of groups specialising in a variety of areas. Almost every large town and village in the County has a community group which is evidence of a high level of community organisation and infrastructure. There are also a large number of ‘specialist’ groups such as disability groups, women’s groups, and youth groups. Community development is vibrant in the county. The majority of villages and towns throughout the county have a community centre providing a variety of services and opportunities for people living in the area. Community facilities are constantly being upgraded, expanded and developed to meet the needs that arise from year to year. The economic downturn has increased the level of volunteering in the county in particular in relation to community infrastructure projects. Each year the council’s community development fund receives approximately forty applications for community infrastructure projects to carry out improvements to existing facilities and improvements to footpaths, parking and access routes to community facilities. A Profile of Cultural Diversity in Monaghan published in 2011 highlights the diverse and vibrant nature of the community sector in Monaghan. There are over 300 community groups registered with Monaghan Community Forum. Almost 80 different nationalities reside in the county and participate in community activities in each town and village. Over 40 community festivals take place annually in the county ranging from one day events in small rural villages to large weekend events such as the Harvest Time Blues Festival, Taste of Monaghan etc.
