Part of the Green Infrastructure Plan that was developed for Kilminchy was an ambitious plan to upgrade footpaths around the Kilminchy lakes as per the drawing. We have discussed the proposal with Laois Partnership who have confirmed that the project is compatible with the LEADER programme and that it would be eligible for up to 75% grant approval (subject to board approval etc.). In the past year we have been successful in securing funding and grants for Kilminchy in excess of €15,000 and hopefully, we can secure this funding also as it would mean a fantastic new addition to Kilminchy that can be enjoyed by all residents.
The first stage of putting an application together will involve setting up a formal tender competition to select a suitable contractor for the job. We are currently working on this and will keep you posted on our Facebook page. You can view (including zoom in) or download a PDF of the proposals below.
