Chapter 6: Sustainable Communities

 

• Castleisland Town and Region is well served in terms of Public Services, Educational, Sporting and Community facilities. However, the departure of Financial Services companies from the Town leaves gaps in the support services available to Businesses and Community alike.

• Community Support Fund needs to be increased to be able to stage a Summer BBQ to complement the very successful ‘Xmas in Castleisland’ Launch

• The provision of regular Sweeper/Power Hose cleaning of the Main Street, Church Street, Barrack Street, Back of the Forge, Killarney Rd, Tralee Rd, and Limerick Rd.

• Adoption of strict Biodiversity and Pollinator Policy in the enhancement of our Walkways and Green Areas

• Enforcement of Dog Fouling and Littering and Traffic laws

• The creation of permanent outdoor areas to accommodate social interactions in a safe environment to include furniture and awnings. The temporary pods have proven very popular with younger people.

• Enhancement of town centres by painting, cleaning, and improving pedestrian access.

 Restrictions on Temporary Signage and their enforcement

• Major upgrade of Footpath stock - causing risk to the public, due to uneven and broken surfaces on the streets. Additionally linking Cahernard to the Killarney Rd. Roundabout to complete a very attractive (and then safe) walking circuit and finally linking the new Nursing Home on College Rd. to the graveyard.

• Extension of the number of designated Loading and Delivery Spaces and provision of a Taxi Rank

• Review of Traffic Flows through Castleisland, and Parking Requirements/Time Limits in support of the Retailing, Service and Hospitality sectors.
