Members of the public have been urged to have their say on a Village Plan for the Creeslough Community in County Donegal.

This public consultation will be led by Donegal County Council, the Creeslough Working Group and the Creeslough Community Association supported by Arup.

The process to prepare a Village Plan will outline opportunities for project development, village renewal, regeneration and healing in the aftermath of the tragedy of 07 October 2022 and will be led by the multi-disciplinary and international consultancy service Arup.
