Pre-Draft Issues Paper

Louth County Council in partnership with Meath County Council are commencing the preparation of a Joint Local Area Plan for Drogheda. You are invited to get involved and to help shape the future of the town.

This Plan will set out a land use strategy for the future growth and sustainable development of Drogheda, focusing on issues including population and economic growth, delivery of housing and community facilities, regeneration of vacant and under-utilised lands, the potential impacts of climate change, environmental protection, and investment in transportation and water services infrastructure.

To encourage participation and engagement in the process a Pre-Draft Issues Paper has been published. This Issues Paper gives a broad overview of the challenges and opportunities in Drogheda in the coming years.

This consultation provides the opportunity for you to submit comments and suggestions on the topics raised in this Pre-draft Issues Paper and any other themes you consider relevant to the preparation of the Plan.
