YOUTH CAFÉ – NEW VENUE?
The recent news that there had been an objection lodged against the proposed Youth Café on Michael Collins Road came as a great shock and disappointment to many people in Clonakilty, especially the youth who have been looking forward to having the facility, and the hard working committee who had spent over a year (and a lot of money), working on trying to have an opening date.
A recent Emergency Meeting directed the committee to go and seek out possible alternatives to the building they were hoping to move into. The committee were unbowed by the recent knockback and enthusiastically went into action. Within a day or two, an alternative premises that ticks all the boxes was identified, it’s owner approached, and it’s availability for the Youth Café confirmed.
The whole process now starts again, and planning permission, Fire Officer reports, drawings, legalities and other related issues must begin. The push is now on again, as the determined group are working in overdrive to get everything in order as soon as possible and hopefully there won’t be any unwanted surprises this time round.
An information meeting to update people on the new developments will take place this Thursday evening (22nd October) at 8.30pm in the Parish Centre.
All young people, their parents and interested people are invited along to hear of the new developments. Any offers of help and positive suggestions will also be welcome.
