DESCRIBED as one of their most important meetings in the past 5 years, County Councillors are currently deciding the fate of the Donegal Development Plan in Lifford.
The plan guides future decisions around, for example, housing, regeneration, economic development, transport, and natural heritage. It also contains area plans for Buncrana, Ballybofey/ Stranorlar, and Bundoran.
Members of the council are in general agreement that this is effectively a ten year plan for County Donegal and not just for the period 2024-2030, as officially stated.
Councillors have been told by officials that the document must be accepted or rejected today following two years of negotiations.
Derry People Donegal News is closely monitoring the live proceedings and will provide updates.
