Labour councillor Keith Martin is calling on Westport people to make submissions on the new town and environs plan before the closing date of September 14. The plan deals with Westport House, Knockranny/Colonel Woods, and Westport town and environs.

Fergus McAllister, Green candidate for Westport Town Council, said that he is opposed to “last century” plans to develop tourism accommodation in Colonel Woods, as currently proposed in the Town Development Plan and has sent in a strong objection to the proposal which allows for small scale tourism accommodation under the area's designation as a tourism/amenity zone.

At the first in a series of Westport Town Council meetings to discuss submissions for the town’s draft development plan Fianna Fáil Councillor Brendan Mulroy commented that the “system is flawed” as elected members, “the voice of the people”, can make decisions about one part of the town but will not have a part to play until the end of the decision making process “in what goes on inside the wall of the Westport House demesne”.
