DP Crossroads: Cultural & Youth Center

[DPXRd2023]

Hi All
As many of you are aware DP Crossroads is a group of local residents who are campaigning for a multi-function cultural and youth center on the peninsula. This has been an objective of FCC since the 2016 local area plan but it has never been actioned. With our population due to grow to in excess of 20,000 by 2029 we need to ensure that we get facilities built in tandem with housing development. The time for action is now before there is no community infrastructure land left to build on.

We have actively engaged with all local councilors and TDs to put our case to them and have submitted a detailed business case to FCC. We have a meeting scheduled with FCC in early May to progress this issue. We now need a couple of things from the residents to keep the campaign going:

1. Please help fund the campaign to keep us going - even a few euros will go towards ensuring we can continue to put the pressure on FCC to give us this important resource. Click here to go to our iDonate page: https://www.idonate.ie/fundraiser/DPCro ... Fundraiser
2. Please sign this online petition. It is important that all residents show their support for the campaign & sign the petition.

Many thanks to everyone who attended the information stand outside SuperValu on Saturday. It was great to see the positive reactions to our draft building plans and get your suggestions on where the center should be placed on the peninsula. Big thanks also to all who signed our petition. It is clear from the conversations that residents support our campaign for a dedicated cultural and youth facility. Many are angry and fed up with the lack of decent facilities including those for non-sporting teens and adults. Everyone wants proper community infrastructure IN TANDEM with housing developments.

If you didn't get a chance, there is still time to sign the petition online.
