Town Teams in Cavan, Cootehill, and Virginia came together this week at the Hotel Kilmore to launch their Town Team Plans. This will guide the Town Teams as they work to encourage businesses, local communities, and others to work together to energise and reinvigorate their towns. Town Teams were set up in County Cavan in 2016-17 and have enjoyed great success in reinvigorating their local towns. To help continue and build upon this success, Cavan County Council engaged the support agency Ómra to assist the three Town Teams in developing their vision and objectives for the coming three years, and these ambitious plans represent the outcome of a consultation process which included a public workshop and several strategy meetings.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council, Cllr Philip Brady "welcomed" the publication of Town Team Plans for Cavan, Cootehill, and Virginia. Cllr Brady continued; "The members of these Town Teams care deeply about their locality, and bring a diversity and depth of experience that is invaluable in charting a course forward for these towns."
