Listen Back: Cllr welcomes funding for Carrickmacross. A local councillor has welcomed funding allocated to Carrickmacross under the nationwide Town and Village Renewal scheme.
Funding of 500,000 euro awarded towards streetscape and amenity enhancements to the main street; including the enhancement of lighting to historic landmark buildings; and the provision of a public water feature at the Market Square.
Cllr Colm Carthy says a key element of this funding will be the delivery of a water feature for the town.
Moreover, Cllr Carthy says this is something that he got involved in back in 2017; alongside the late great Francie Cassidy who was one of the founding members of Carrickmacross Tidy Towns.
Furthermore, he said Francie had a vision to bring a water feature to the town; not only to support the endeavours of Carrickmacross Tidy Towns but as an additional amenity to the town centre.
