county development plan 2022 - 2028

Your Plan, Your County, Your Future

Roscommon County Council sought to be innovative in increasing engagement with the County Development Plan and overall make it more accessible to members of the community.

The pre-draft Public Consultation on the new County Development Plan 2022-2028 closed on 31st July 2020. The Roscommon County Council team overcame some challenging COVID-19 restrictions to ensure public engagement. Online surveys, schools pack and explainer videos were some of the innovative ways used to develop engagement on the County Development Plan (CDP).  The CDP has its own unique identity that includes a new logo, branding and an online presence through the purpose built Development Plan website. 
 
There were six webinars with town teams and an extensive social media campaign to promote the plan and seek input. An art competition for children took place and the winner is due to be announced.  Roscommon was the first Local Authority to directly attract school children to get involved in the CDP process with the Schools Pack. 88 submissions were received, four times what was received for the last County Development Plan and 203 online surveys were also completed.

The draft is expected in Mid-February 2021.
