I don't blame them for that statement, " the council is starved for money". but I would have to ask,? Are they not aware that there are grants for providing tourist amenities, there was talk of grant funding available to develop an Aire in Newross.
Grant money from the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme funded the new Motorhome Parking Area in Dungarvan.
Waterford Co. Co. used the Part 8 planning process to sort the necessary planning permission on land they already owned to build the facility.
Like Cobh led the way in regularising Motorhome Parking with appropriate byelaws to allow the facility to be provided in an existing car park, similarly Dungarvan have led the way in getting grant aid funding and planning permission to provide a facility on an existing council owned greenfield site.
