Mayor’s Message gg In 2011/2012 academic year, Roscommon County Council provided grant aid of almost €4m to 619 students at undergraduate level and 87 postgraduate students. In addition, 145 students were eligible for the Special Rate of Maintenance Grant. gg gg gg gg gg gg Roscommon County Council’s Veterinary Office continued to oversee food safety in 10 slaughterhouses and 7 stand-alone meat manufacturing plants. Roscommon County Council continued to maintain six fire brigades in Ballaghaderreen, Boyle, Castlerea, Elphin, Roscommon and Strokestown with 57 retained fire service personnel employed. Roscommon Civil Defence continued to promote, develop and maintain Civil Defence as an effective volunteer-based professional organisation providing emergency response and community support services in county Roscommon. Almost 90% of national and secondary schools in the county are registered on the Green Schools Programme administered by the Environment department. Industrial and commercial sites have been developed by Roscommon County Council at Racecourse Road, Roscommon and are available for purchase at competitive market prices. These sites, together with the network of Enterprise centres in Roscommon, Boyle, Ballaghaderreen and Castlerea support business development in the county. In 2011 Roscommon County Council led the establishment of a Regional Business Networking event, Meetwest, which will continue in 2012. The local authority were also associated with the establishment of ReConnect, aimed at engendering business links between the Roscomon business diaspora in London and employers in the county. Discretionary Community Funding During 2011 planning progressed in respect of the provision of new corporate headquarters. We look forward to bringing all sections together, with the consequent cost savings and improvements in operational efficiencies, access, health and safety and customer service. While there has been a reduction in the quantum of available resources in 2011, the County Council has continued to provide services across many strands if community activity. 2011 has been another difficult trading period for business. The County Council remains mindful, both of the value of services provided in maintaining the fabric of life and also the impact of the level of commercial rate set. Despite a very challenging financial climate, the County Council continues to make a huge contribution to the local economy. The facilities we provide and the services we deliver are very important to the quality of life in the county. I would like to acknowledge staff for their dedication and achievements and also the Elected Members who have shown resilience and flexibility in responding to the changed circumstances.
