Community Involvement Scheme - CLOSED

What is the Community Involvement Scheme?

The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport provides funding nationally towards this scheme. Local authorities do not have the funds to carry out desirable maintenance works to all roads in their charge and the purpose of this initiative is to maximise the resources available for local road maintenance.

This scheme encourages a joint approach (on a voluntary basis) with groups of local residents and landowners for the restoration of public roads that are lightly trafficked, single lane or cul de sac roads and may also link two local primary roads or two local secondary roads.

Eligible works fall into four categories: General, Drainage Works, Pavement Works and Footpaths.

How to apply/Further information

The closing date for applications was July 31st  2019.

Applications on hand will be assessed for inclusion in a programme of works subject to the allocation of funding by the Department of Rural and Community Development.

Any new scheme will be advertised on this website and in the local press.
