Endeavours to repurpose St Peter’s, Castlepollard

Endeavours to repurpose St Peter’s, Castlepollard, will be supported by Westmeath County Council, Cllr Denis Leonard was assured at the May meeting of the Municipal District of Mullingar Kinnegad.

He had asked that the council liaise actively with the Departments of Health and of Further and Higher Education, and with the Longford Westmeath Education and Training Board, to ensure the progress of the promised feasibility study to see if St Peter’s could become an education and training centre, community space and local sporting fields for Castlepollard and the wider north Westmeath area.

Director of services, Deirdre Reilly, explained that the council could not lead on that project, but would support the lead organisation.
