Recent Question/Motions at Mullingar Town Council 26/6/2012

 

4.12 Cllr.Davitt: To call on Westmeath County Council to place a screen or flicker on Mullingar Town Council’s building to publicise events happening in the area on any given week.

The Market House is a protected structure and as such would require planning permission to place any structure on the building. It is unlikely that this would be forthcoming and there is no funding for such a proposal.

(After Much discussion and support from all parties this idea is to be fleshed out by the technical and engineering staff in Mullingar to

progress it.)
