Athlone Rapid ProgrammeRevitalising Areas Through Planning, Investment and Development The RAPID Programme is a focused Government response aimed at helping communities living in areas, which have not fully shared in the prosperity of the country over the last number of years. It is a three-year programme and its purpose is to ensure that:
The RAPID Programme in Athlone was launched during the summer of 2002, under the auspices of the Community and Enterprise Section of Westmeath County Council and under the direction of a dedicated Co-ordinator appointed by the Council. It is implemented locally by an Area Implementation Team (AIT) involving representatives of the main organisations working in Athlone and representatives of a residents’ working group (RWG) drawn from the six designated residential areas in Athlone, listed as follows: Battery Heights, St. Mel’s Terrace, Blackberry Lane, Ashdale/Woodland Grove, Sarsfield Square and Monksland (Cedarwood Drive). The Programme is monitored locally by the Westmeath County Development Board Social Inclusion Measures’ (SIM) Working Group. In addition, the lack of indoor and outdoor facilities is also a problem in a number of the areas while the problem of under-utilised facilities was also highlighted. The provision of new facilities under the RAPID Programme will create opportunities for the development of sporting activities. Contact Details |
