Cllr O’Donoghue Wishes You a Happy New Year

2022 has been a busy year on the Lusk front with a lot of frenetic developments taking place. The second round of the Fingal Development Plan had Lusk heavily targeted by outside interests for mass rezonings which were only fought off by a robust response from local residents and groups. Cllr O’Donoghue stated, ‘I would like to thank all of the community groups, clubs and local residents that took the time last Autumn to make their voices heard loud and clear to the elected representatives in Fingal. By working together we were able to ensure that not a blade of grass was rezoned in the town and there is now breathing room for the town to develop sustainably over the course of the new Development Plan and work toward having facilities develop for the residents of Lusk similar to other self-sustaining towns in the North County. I could not be prouder of how the town reacted.’ On developments for 2023, O’Donoghue continued, ‘we have a number of schemes coming forward for Lusk in the next year, that I will be fighting to ensure are delivered for the benefit of the town. These include but are not limited to, cycle linkage from Lusk to the station and Rogerstown Park proposals for which should come forward shortly as well as the full opening of Rogerstown Park. The safe implementation of the cycle track on the R132 and down Kilhedge Lane. Redevelopment of the waste ground adjacent to the green space on Chapel Farm Drive. The implementation of the Lusk 2030 Vision. Delivery of the green space adjacent to the Forge estate for use by the community and clubs, delivery of the park at the Hub and continued engagement with FCC to develop facilities at the Lusk Sports Hub. 2023 is looking to be a busy year and I look forward working with all community groups and residents to ensure the town goes from strength to strength and I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year.’
