Cllr Kieran McCarthy wishes to remind residents in Mahon that an open public consultation exhibition regarding the Draft Mahon Local Area Plan 2013 will be held on Thursday 5 September 2013 between 3pm and 9pm at Northridge House, Saint Luke’s Home, Ferney Road. The aim of this event is to give people the chance to discuss the plan proposals with officials from the Strategic Planning and Economic Development Directorate of Cork City Council. Cllr Kieran McCarthy noted: “the plan aims to enhance the urban design of Mahon; most significantly, the concept of a neighbourhood Park at Bessboro House is to be welcomed. It is also important that the Council aims to improve the public realms in certain areas; this plan is all about what can be added to improve the existing community life in Mahon”.
