Alison Keogh Community Development Officer with the Co Wicklow Partnership will be there to give a presentation on Community Grants and how the Partnership can support communities like Hollywood. Alison will be only too happy to answer any questions you have.
The committee is open to all community groups, businesses and interested community activists. Currently members include Tidy Towns, ICA, GAA, Friendship Club, Music under the Mountain, Hollywood School, Hollywood Fair, along with some local businesses and several advocates willing to promote Hollywood.
One can see the importance of community participation in reaching achievable and sustainable decisions which will shape Hollywood into the future. These grants will enable to build our natural resources without destroying everything we love and admire about Hollywood. This is very evident in the sensitive manner the committee explores the above suggestions.
You are cordially invited to express your views, joining or offering you expertise to the committee. Hollywood is unique; the community spirit in Hollywood is praised throughout the country.
