Nominations Sought for PPN Representative – Clane Town Centre First Town Team

Under the Government’s Town Centre First Policy, Kildare County Council have recently appointed Consultants to prepare a masterplan for Clane Town Centre.  A key part of this is to bring together a Town Centre First (TCF) Town Team.  This team will be a group of local residents, business people, community representatives and other stakeholders who come together to make their area a better place to live and work. TCF Town Team members may come from diverse sectors and backgrounds.

 

We are currently seeking nominations for the PPN representative position on the Clane Town Team. 

 

The masterplan will identify potential projects and the Town Team will have a unique position in the community to become ‘local experts’ on their area and to take a lead on the development of projects that can make positive long-term changes for the town.

 

The delivery of projects will be carried out in collaboration with the Local Authority and others as required, with the Town Team consulted by the Local Authority during the delivery phase. 

 

There will be a continuous role for the Town Team in terms of influencing delivery, communicating with stakeholders and reviewing the plan over time so that they retain ownership of the process.

 

The dates, times and locations of the meetings will be decided on once the Town Team has been established. 

 

The closing date for applications is 12:00pm Friday 10th of March 2023.
