Fahan residents support by-pass 11.03.09

Survey results include views on marina and housing

RESIDENTS of Fahan anxious to retain the character of the village are in support of a by-pass road around the village, the results of a recent survey is set to reveal this week.
The survey carried out by Fahan Community Council, saw around 400 questionnaires circulated to residents of the area.
The local Council will present the results of the survey prior to the Annual General Meeting on Thursday 12, March in the Fowler Hall at 8 pm.
When those results are published council Chairman Mr Colm Toland is set to reveal the importance residents place on retaining the character of the village and support for a by-pass of Fahan.
The survey is also understood to include views on the completion of the marina as well as the types of housing residents believe should be allowed.
Speaking in advance of the meeting Mr Toland stressed that everyone is welcome to attend to learn the results of the survey.
“Eventually the views expressed by residents will form part of a Local Development Plan for the area. It will determine how the village develops for the future. I am sure this is of interest to everyone living in the Fahan area and we look forward to a lively discussion on the night,” Mr Toland said.
The meeting will be chaired by Mr Martin McGinley, Editor in Chief of the Derry Journal Group. All local councillors and aspiring councillors are invited to attend. (Inishowen Independent)
