π BIG NEWS FOR OUR COMMUNITY π just in time for Christmas π.....
The Carrigaline Playground Committee has been awarded β¬100,000 in funding towards Carrigaline playground refurbishment. South Cork LCDC approved the project funding under the LEADER Rural Development Programme 2023β2027, supported by SECAD Partnership CLG from LEADER π₯. This is the grant we have been working on in the background for the last year. We managed to secure the maximum amount we could have been awarded and we are delighted to be able to share with the Carrigaline Community that all our hard work has paid off. This is a pivotal moment in our journey to refurbish the playground π.
This brings our current funding to approx β¬225,000βοΈ
This means we can complete phase 1 of the refurbishment which is β¬200,000.
We went to tender several weeks back and Browne Brothers have been awarded the contract π
Phase 2&3 will be approx β¬125,000 so we still have a little to go which we are busy working on in the background. We hope to have news on this early next year π€.
All going well all phases will be completed simultaneously and we are aiming for works to commence early spring πΈ
Exciting things are coming & again we thank the community for all your support in getting our children the playground they deserve πͺπΌ
