Residents of the County Tyrone village of Loughmacrory have been invited to inform the future development of play facilities.

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is hosting a drop-in consultation session on Wednesday 18 May from 8-9pm.

The Council recently approved a new Play Park Strategy 2021, which would guide the future provision, upgrade, development and sustainable management of play parks across the district. As part of year two works for the strategy, development of the play area in Loughmacrory has been identified as priority.

There is currently one play park in Loughmacrory. The draft proposals envisage the upgrade and modernisation of the park, creating a more inclusive, fun and enjoyable play experience for all children and young people; recognising the changing demographics within Loughmacrory.

Councillor Errol Thompson, Chair of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council said: "The play strategy aims to develop and deliver a sustainable action plan for inclusive and accessible play spaces and provision across the district that meets the needs of all our children and young people.

"I would encourage the residents of Loughmacrory to make their views known on the plans for play facilities in the village either by attending the drop-in session or by completing the online survey online."

Residents can access an online survey on the issue, which closes on Wednesday 25 May 2022 at 5pm.
