Further government funding will enable additional development of important recreational amenities which benefit local residents and visitors to our area.
These amenities are put to good use throughout the year and it is very evident in spring and summer time the large and constant presence of people of all age groups taking part in recreational activity. Of course good amenities enhance considerably the attraction of an area for visitors and building the local tourism product.
