The Town Team, along with their volunteer working groups are progressing the work outlined in the Lusk for Life document, alongside Fingal County Council.

Community Forum
The Community Forum is up and running and is currently chaired by Amina Ojeifo. The next meeting is on the 23rd November from 7pm till 9.30pm in the Saint Macullin’s Centre.

Communications and Community engagement
The Communications Group has established social media accounts for the Town Team to share updates and opportunities to get involved. It is also engaging with other community groups, building connections and encouraging wider participation.

Streetscape improvements
Lusk secured €195,000 earlier in the year, through the Towns and Villages Renewal Scheme fund, to help develop the Streetscapes and Wayfinding projects.

The Streetscapes Group has been exploring options for improving public spaces around the town. A tender will shortly be issued to appoint a professional landscape architect to develop plans for streetscape upgrades, turning ideas into practical proposals that respect Lusk’s character.

Parks
Following a consultation and design process, plans for Lusk’s parks will soon be presented to local councillors and made available to the public. This will give residents an opportunity to see the proposals for these important community spaces.

Farmers’ Market
The farmers’ market pilot was a huge success, recording 2,130 visits across three markets in Murray’s car park on 22 August, 29 August and 5 September.

The market supported producers, craftspeople and small businesses while creating a lively community gathering place. The Town Team and Farmers’ Market Working Group are now developing a sustainable long-term plan for regular markets, addressing venue arrangements, facilities, funding and volunteer support.

Lusk Identity and Wayfinding
The Identity and Wayfinding project has progressed to tender stage. It aims to develop a coherent identity for Lusk and coordinated signage to help residents and visitors explore the town, drawing on its history, heritage, food growing traditions and community life.

The community members helping to deliver these projects are all volunteers, giving their time and skills to improve Lusk. If you would like to get involved, email
