The go-ahead for the development of a community facility at the Quay, which will incorporate childcare facilities, was welcomed by Westport town councillors at their monthly meeting.
The new facility at Cloonmonad will contain a large community room, youth recreation area, office, and small meeting room. Childcare facilities will also be provided as will the hosting of community activities.
Councillor Myles Staunton, who is a member of the Quay committee, said that this is a “brilliant project for the council”.
