SUSTAINABLE CLON PRODUCES LOCAL MAP

Sustainable Clonakilty has produced a detailed map of Clonakilty town, which is being distributed via “An Post” through every letterbox in the town this week. The map has been produced to publicise Sustainable Clonakilty’s “Clonergy 2020” project, which is aiming by 2020, to have reached the point where the amount of energy used in Clonakilty, is equal to the amount produced from local renewable resources.
The map is designed specifically for Clonakilty residents, not tourists and contains energy saving tips, useful website addresses as well as details on how you and your family can become involved in the Clonergy 2020 project. It lists the locations of every street, road and housing estate, as well as local amenities such as the Playground, Schools, Churches, Parks, etc. For new people and indeed long-term residents of the town, this is an ideal guide when you are wondering where exactly is ?? Given how the town has grown rapidly over the last 10 years, with new estates springing up (often with no name plaques) the map is a great asset.
It is recommended that people would keep it as a reference in their homes but also study the many points of advice on it about how you can reduce your energy bills. It also gives details about Sustainable Clonakilty’s work, and it’s contact details, with an invitation to people to get involved in it’s Clonergy 2020 project which aims to make Clonakilty an energy self-sufficient town by that year. The map was produced through Sustainable Clonakilty volunteer effort and Local Agenda 21 funding from Cork County Council, with practical advice from Clonakilty Town Council staff. The limited number of copies of the map can also be obtained from the Clonakilty library. For further information email: sustainableclon@gmail.com or phone Alison on 023 883 5241.
