THE first stage of a local campaign for better services in Doolin will be kicked off this Thursday when a public meeting takes place at the Russell Centre in the village.
Concern that Doolin is being left behind when compared to other areas across the county when it comes to essential services has prompted what has been advertised as a Community Meeting.
The meeting has its origins in a meeting of Doolin Tourism, which recently hosted its annual general meeting were concerns were raise about the need for radical improvements to the local infrastructure.
“Issues arose at the meeting around – issues like roads, sewerage and lighting and signage,” a spokesperson for the Community Meeting told The Clare People .
“There is a feeling some services in Doolin are inadequate. Some work has been done but a lot more needs to be done There is a new sewerage system in Lisdoonvarna, but people want that extended to Doolin.
“When those issues were raised it was decided that we would take these issues to the local community as a whole and organised a public meeting so that people can come and air their views about what they feel should be done for Doolin, This is the first step in that process,” the spokesperson added.
The meeting gets underway at 9pm.
