Donegal County Council has submitted plans to An Bord Pleanála for a new Multi-Use Sports All Weather Pitch in Stranorlar.
The proposed development will be located within and adjoining the all-weather running track at the Finn Valley Centre, at Millbrae.
Cllr Patrick Mc Gowan has welcomed the progress and said: “This long-awaited development consists of the upgrading of and extension to an existing grass playing pitch to develop a Synthetic Multi Sport All Weather Pitch and associated works including floodlighting, site and pitch fencing, ball stop netting, site drainage, landscaping, the forming of a flood-protection berm and provision of a perimeter grass walking/running track on top of the berm.
“This project is funded through the peace programme and Donegal County Council. It is strategically placed beside the proposed Finn Harps stadium and the Finn Valley athletic centre and leisure centre.
“The facilities will be open to a wide range of sports and will be in big demand when constructed which faced delays over the last two years due to Covid and design issues,” said Cllr Mc Gowan.
