A great new addition has been made to Dunkineely Community Centre which now boasts a large upstairs area for courses, distance working and more.
Huge thanks to the centre’s Board, Peter McFarlane, Paul Breslin and all involved in this project. Any queries in relation to this great new space feel free to message them on their Facebook Page or contact any committee member. You can also pop in for a look between 9am and 2pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
N56 Improvements
We are delighted to announce that €50k has been allocated from TII funding (for national roads and greenways) for designing and planning safe routes through the Dunkineely area.
This is not a replacement for urgent measures needed at Dunkineely NS, but it is the start of what may be a long road to improved safety in Dunkineely, Bruckless and in between. For both walkers and cars.
We hope that the output from this work will be an agreed plan for works in the area, allowing us to take the next step of costing and applying for funds to implement the improvements. We will keep you informed of progress as we hear more.
Bug Hotel
Come along to Bruckless Park at 12 noon on 9th March and help us build a bug hotel for the community.
Insects will shortly be coming out of hibernation and looking for new homes. Bug hotels are a great way to help these tiny creatures, who help us and the planet in so many ways.
Be prepared to get your hands dirty as we forage for twigs, leaves, bricks and old plastic. Learn to build your own.
Kids must be accompanied by adults. Adult gloves can be provided.
Why are bugs so important? Want to find out more about insects and how they help the environment globally and locally? Look out for our talks running on the weekend of 13 th April. Sponsored by Changemakers.
