This feedback was provided by community members who attended the public meeting held in Cleen Hall, Knockvicar in November 2014. This information has informed and guided the preparation of the Lough Key Local Area Plan. STRENGTHS FOR LOUGH KEY • Healthy tourism base provided by Lough Key Forest; • The area is well placed to expand the tourism base; • Historical value and heritage value of Rockingham Estate; • Lough Key Forest Park is situated in close proximity to a number of key urban centres namely, Boyle, Carrick-on-Shannon and Sligo. WEAKNESSES FOR LOUGH KEY • No hotel or large scale accommodation facility in the Plan area; • Very little commercial activity taking place in the Plan area, particularly in Cootehall or Knockvicar where convenience retail provision is limited; • Inconsistent broadband provision throughout the Plan area; • Local roads in many areas within the Plan boundary are in a poor state of repair; • The tourism opportunities are not being fully explored; • Lack of linkages between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle KEY LANDMARKS AND FEATURES • Lough Key Forest Park; • MacDermot’s Castle; • Miner’s Trail; • Moylurg Tower; • Knockvicar Bog Nature Trail. ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY FACILITIES • Hotel; • Restaurant; • More youth related facilities - for example an all weather playing pitch; • Designated walking and cycle routes – between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle. INFRASTRUCTURAL AND SERVICING DEFICITS • Public transport is virtually non-existent; • The approach roads to Cootehall village are in poor condition; • A footpath from Cootehall village to the national school needs to be provided; • Broadband provision in the area is not consistent; • Improvements to the water scheme are urgently needed. Lough Key Local Area Plan 2015-2021 Page 2 Appendix 1: Community Views BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES • A hotel could be provided in the grounds of Lough Key Forest Park; • Other businesses opportunities would arise from a hotel operating in the area; • Joint ventures between Lough Key Forest Park and Boyle as well as other shared tourism related ventures with Carrick-on-Shannon and Sligo could be developed; • It is a general consensus that the creation of a strong tourism industry provides the most viable economic development opportunity for this area. RESIDENTIAL ISSUES • The large scale residential developments in Cootehall should never be replicated; • It remains vital that the sensitive lands around Lough Key are not subjected to inappropriate development.
