Development Perspectives (DP) and the Centre for Freshwater and Environmental Studies in DkIT are seeking the public’s opinion on the future of the River Boyne and its catchment area.
To this end they are hosting a number of public consultations and workshops in Drogheda (May 10), Navan (May 23), Trim (June7), Kells (June 8) and Virginia (June 12) to discuss the future and vision(s) of the River Boyne and its catchment.
These workshops are open to all members of the public, but places are limited so the message is to register early to ensure your voice is heard. Meetings will start at 6.30pm in venurs as yet to be announced.
Development Perspectives CEO, Bobby McCormack said of the meetings, “We want to hear people’s ideas about the future of the Boyne, especially those that live within the Boyne catchment.
“The Boyne is a treasure that for too long hasn’t been respected in the manner it deserves. The future can be different so these workshops can act as a space for people to discuss and share their hopes and wishes that will help co-create the Boyne Vision.
“The history of the Boyne Valley is rich in meaning and story and our hope is that the future of the area can be as well”.
This work is being undertaken on behalf of the Boyne Rivers Trust. The outcomes of these consultations will be collated into a report called the “Boyne Vision”.
