Members of the public are being urged to give their feedback on development plans for the Gortgonis leisure complex.

The plans involve the construction of a new leisure centre, incorporating changing rooms, meeting rooms and a gym, with planned outdoor facilities to include a running track, 3G pitch, walkways, play park and car parking.

Chair of the Council, Councillor Sean McPeake, said: "This period of community consultation is an important part of our preparations, both in terms of applying for full planning permission and in ensuring that the proposals meet the needs of local people, now and in the future.

"Ultimately this new leisure complex has the potential to become a community hub for the delivery of health and well-being programmes in Coalisland and the surrounding area.

"I look forward to hearing what local people think about the scheme and encourage everyone with an interest to feedback their views."

The Council has submitted a 'Proposal of Application Notice' (PAN), signalling its intention to apply for planning permission

The exhibition of the proposed development will be on display in the reception area of the Cornmill Heritage Centre and the existing Gortgonis building in Coalisland until 08 February.
