LECARROW VILLAGE DESIGN STATEMENT<br />

Schools Project<br />

As part of the community consultation for<br />

this VDS, a schools project was run with<br />

the help from the students and teachers of<br />

St John’s National School and Glanduff<br />

National School. The schoolchildren were<br />

asked to describe and draw pictures of their<br />

village. Its very important that the local<br />

children have an opportunity to contribute<br />

to this VDS, as one local child wrote “I<br />

think its really cool that I get a say in the<br />

future of my village”.<br />

Things we like:<br />

• There is a sign that welcomes people to<br />

<strong>Lecarrow</strong> and tells them about<br />

facilities such as the harbour, Rinn<br />

Dúin Castle, St John’s School etc.<br />

• The village has improved over the<br />

years because of its flowers and<br />

greenery.<br />

• <strong>Lecarrow</strong> is always quiet and peaceful,<br />

and is a clean and tidy village thanks to<br />

the local people.<br />

• <strong>Lecarrow</strong> is a small, friendly village<br />

with beautiful attractions for tourists.<br />

• Walking in St John’s Wood and<br />

Rindoon Castle.<br />

• Visiting Mountplunkett Water Reserve.<br />

• Feeding the ducks and swans at the<br />

harbour and visiting St John’s Well,<br />

especially in the Summer.<br />
