are always delighted to support communities in a range of ways through the LEADER
Programme. LEADER can help in many ways including assisting to put plans around your
ideas, providing funding for studies as well as enabling capital funding for projects.
One such LEADER supported project enabled Francis and Deirdre Connolly to realise their
vision and develop a Glamping Site on their farm in Ardara, Co. Donegal.
When they approached DLDC in 2018, they were directed to the LEADER Team which
implements the Programme on behalf of the Donegal Local Community Development
Committee (LCDC). They worked closely with Rural Development Manager Frank Kelly and
Donegal County Council and the Office of Public Works are progressing the preliminary investigation and design stage of the Glenties Flood Relief Scheme.
A detailed assessment of flood risk in the town based on present day and future scenarios is to be undertaken.
Topographical surveys of watercourses, adjacent lands and property thresholds of residential and commercial premises are now required.
These works will capture the data needed to build an up to date computer model of the Scheme Area. The model will simulate flow scenarios in detail to define flood extent and depth.
Model outputs will identify properties at risk from flooding and what may be needed to protect them.
