NENAGH Municipal District Council says it received 272 responses as part of the consultation exercise undertaken during October and November regarding Newport Town Park.

A total of 80% of respondents were Newport residents with a further 9% answering as either representatives of community groups or parents of children in education in Newport.

The consultants, Nic de Jong & Associates, are currently preparing a report from the consultation to feed into the Newport Enhancement Plan.

The contractor is to meet the consultant on the proposed schedule of equipment to be provided.
